ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol state this proposed legislation would authorize the creation of the Missouri Regional Computer Forensic Lab.
MHP states the proposed legislation only authorizes the Patrol to create the "Missouri Regional Computer Forensics Lab". Since it does not require it, there would not be a fiscal impact. The actual creation of the lab would depend on the availability of federal grant money, not state money.
Officials from the Office of Administration Divisions of Office of Information Technology and Information Services each state this proposal would not fiscally impact their respective agencies.
