FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Conservation assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agency.



Officials from the Department of Transportation (MoDOT) assume the intent of this proposal is to create a new state holiday in which no compensatory time can be earned. Under this assumption, MoDOT assumes no fiscal impact.



Officials from the Office of Administration - Division of Personnel assume there is no cost, as the proposal provides "commemorating the day by declining compensation for any work performed on that day."



Oversight assumes any state employee who wishes to decline compensation for work performed on "Emancipation Day" would calculate their day's salary and donate it to the state.

DESCRIPTION



This proposal designates June 19 of each year "Emancipation Day." This day is also referred to as "Juneteenth," which commemorates June 19, 1865, which was the day the last slaves, in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom.



On this day, Missourians, government offices, and all organizations are asked to devote part of the day to remembering the Emancipation Proclamation by celebrating "Juneteenth," reaffirming their commitment to achieving equal justice and opportunity, and by declining compensation for any work performed on this day.



This proposal is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
