FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials with the Department of Public Safety - Capitol Police assume the proposal has no fiscal impact on their agency.



Officials with the Department of Transportation (MoDOT) assume the proposal allows restricted vehicles to operate on any road in the state. The speed differential will cause issues with the motoring public. As with bicycles, MoDOT will then be required to provide safe travel routes for vehicles that do not contribute to the Highway Trust Fund.



MoDOT notes that any fiscal impact cannot be determined due to the uncertainty of the intention of this legislation.



Oversight assumes cities and counties could incur the same costs on streets and county roads as MoDOT would incur on state and federal highways.



Officials with the Department of Public Safety - Missouri State Highway Patrol (MHP) assume the proposal has no fiscal impact on their agency.
