FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION


Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator state this proposal has no fiscal impact on the Courts.


§163.031.2


According to officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DES), this proposal would require a state payment to districts in St. Charles County meeting the criteria in section 163.031.2, RSMo, generally referred to as hold harmless, for the amount of decrease in fines from the 2005 fiscal year.                                                                                               

The districts receiving payments based on section 163.031.2, RSMo and their fine revenue in the 2005 fiscal year are:                                                                                                                

                                    St. Charles R-VI                                 $178,034 

                                    Orchard Farm R-V                             $ 38,007                                                                                                                                 $216,041                                  

The additional state payment pursuant to this proposal would be no more than that specified for the respective district.


# Information was provided by St Charles County outlining the number of traffic and misdemeanor tickets issued by the St Charles Sheriff for FY 2002 and FY 2003, along with the percentage of cases filed that are dismissed. Based on that information, Oversight assumes the amount to be paid to these districts would be no more than approximately $88,000.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION


§163.031.2


This proposal grants hold harmless school districts, located entirely within St. Charles County, an additional payment equal to the decrease, if any, in the amount the district receives from fines in the current year from fines revenue the district received in fiscal year 2005.


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