FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Office of State Court Administrator assume no significant cost or savings to the judiciary.



Oversight assumes this proposal is enabling legislation, in that the City of St. Louis would be allowed to establish by ordinance or order an administrative system for adjudicating parking and other nonmoving municipal code violations. Oversight assumes if the City's governing body would establish a system to adjudicate violations the City would realize income collected on violations of City ordinances, and would have costs associated with the administration of the system. Oversight will show this proposal as no fiscal impact due to the fact that it is enabling legislation and does not require the City of St. Louis to establish an administrative system.

DESCRIPTION

This bill authorizes the City of St. Louis to create an administrative system for adjudicating parking and other nonmoving municipal code violations. The creating order or ordinance must designate the administrative tribunal, its jurisdiction, and the code violations to be reviewed. The administrative tribunal will not be able to impose terms of incarceration or fines in excess of those allowed by law. Final determinations of the administrative tribunal will be subject to review pursuant to Chapter 536, RSMo. Unpaid sanctions, fines, or costs will be a debt owed to the city, may be collected in accordance with applicable law, and may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment lien.

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