ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol and the Director's Office and the Department of Economic Development - Division of Motor Carriers and Railroad Safety each assume no fiscal impact from the proposal.
Officials from the Department of Transportation (DHT) state this legislation gives railroad policemen as commissioned by the superintendent of the Patrol authority to act as peace officers. Since under sections 388.600 and 388.635 RSMo.2000, railroad police are employees of railroads, this legislation will have no fiscal impact on MHTC.
