FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Pubic Safety - Office of the Director and Missouri State Highway Patrol state this proposal will have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) state they will implement a procedure change, but there will be no costs for implementation.
In FY 2006, DOR issued 16,669 replacement tabs due to theft in which the applicant paid the $8.50 fee because he/she did not submit a police report. Since a police report will no longer be required for tabs issued prior to January 1, 2009, there will be a decrease in replacement tab revenue of approximately $142,000 in FY 2008 and $71,000 in the first half of FY 2009 due to issuing these tabs at no fee due to theft.
Officials from the Springfield Police Department assumed no fiscal impact resulting from this proposed legislation.
In response to the introduced version of this proposal, officials from the Jefferson City Police Department states that the number of such reports to their department are very few, therefore, there likely would be unnoticeable fiscal impact.
In response to the introduced version of this proposal, officials from the Independence Police Department don't see any additional costs associated with this proposal since their department takes very few of these reports.
Oversight assumes Police Departments could receive income from fees for providing copies of police reports in order that a person could get replacement license plate tabs starting January 1, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
§ 301.301
This proposal modifies the stolen license plate tabs procedure for obtaining free tabs from the Department of Revenue. Under current law, a person replacing stolen license plate tabs may receive two sets of two license plate tabs for free if the person submits a police report with the application. This proposal would modify the procedure by requiring any person replacing stolen license plate tabs issued prior to January 1, 2009, to submit a notarized affidavit to that effect. For persons replacing stolen license plate tabs issued on or after January 1, 2009, the person will have to submit a police report with his or her application.
This proposal has an emergency clause.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
