FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Missouri House of Representatives and Missouri Senate assume no fiscal impact to their agencies.
Officials from Department of Agriculture (AGR) assume this proposal would prevent the AGR from participating in a voluntary national animal identification program and could slow the response time to disease threat and cut off markets to Missouri producers. Many of the disease control activities funded by this program would need to continue and be paid for out of state general revenue funding in order to ensure animal disease control.
The analysis assumes that the federal funding received to implement the National Animal Identification System would be replaced by state general revenue funding. Otherwise, the state's animal disease control and eradication efforts and the state's ability to compete in national and international livestock would be seriously impaired.
