FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Economic Development (DED) state this bill authorizes Buchanan County to seek a grant from the Contiguous Property Redevelopment Fund. DED feels this would have no great impact and would not require additional personnel or resources. DED assumes no fiscal impact because the bill just adds another entity that can qualify for a grant.



Officials from the Office of Secretary of State (SOS) assume there would be costs due to

additional publishing duties related to the Department of Economic Development's authority to promulgate rules, regulations, and forms. SOS estimates the division could require approximately 12 new pages of regulations in the Code of State Regulations at a cost of $27.00 per page, and 18 new pages in the Missouri Register at a cost of $23.00 per page. Costs due to this proposal are estimated to be $615, however, the actual fiscal impact would be dependent upon the actual rule-making authority and may be more or less. Financial impact in subsequent fiscal years would depend entirely on the number, length, and frequency of the rules filed, amended, rescinded, or withdrawn. SOS does not anticipate the need for additional staff as a result of this proposal; however, the enactment of more than one similar proposal may, in the aggregate, necessitate additional staff.



Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process. Any decisions to raise fees to defray costs would likely be made in subsequent fiscal years.



Officials from Buchanan County assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.



Oversight assumes this proposal allows Buchanan County to seek a grant from the Contiguous Property Redevelopment Fund and does not guarantee their success. Therefore, Oversight assumes this proposal will have no fiscal impact.
