Officials from the Department of Higher Education state this proposal will have no direct fiscal impact on their agency.

Officials from the Office of Secretary of State (SOS) assume many bills considered by the General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of normal activity resulting from each year’s legislative session. The fiscal impact to the SOS office for Administrative Rules for this proposal is less than $2,500. The SOS recognizes this is a small amount and does not expect additional funding would be required to meet these costs. However, SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the SOS can sustain with their core budget. Any additional required funding would be handled through the budget process.

According to officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), this proposed legislation would allow certificates of license to teach based on certification by the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence. DES assumes the applicant would pay the $600 - $750 cost of the test. However, DES would have to verify the teaching experience and the additional professional development and mentoring required. DES would require 1.0 FTE Supervisor to meet these requirements.

Oversight assumes this proposal expands the certification criteria by allowing applicants who are certified by the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence to be granted certificates to teach. Since the number of potential applicants is unknown, for fiscal note purposes, Oversight assumes the program can be administered with existing resources. If the

amount of applicants is large and additional personnel are needed, funds to support the program would be sought through the appropriations process.

Officials from the Marshfield R-1 Public School District state no known cost to their district resulting from this proposal.

Officials from Missouri State University and the University of Missouri assume no direct fiscal impact to their respective institutions from this proposal legislation.

Officials from the University of Central Missouri assume there could be lost revenue due to a number of students who might not pursue a teaching degree.

Oversight assumes this proposal does not replace the traditional teaching certification and will not affect the number of persons pursuing a teaching degree through the college process.

No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.

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