Officials from the Department of Public Safety – Director’s Office and the – Missouri State Highway Patrol assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.

Officials from the Office of the Attorney General (AGO) state they currently maintain a list of recalled products on its web site similar to what is required by the proposal. AGO assumes any costs to maintain a list in compliance with the proposal could be absorbed within existing resources. Depending upon the response of the international business community to recent events, if this measure were to pass, AGO might temporarily dedicate significant resources to its enforcement shortly after it became effective. AGO believes, however, that as a result of this kind of effort, non-compliance would drop quickly, and any ongoing enforcement efforts could be absorbed within existing resources.

Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on the courts.

Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services assume the proposal would not have a significant direct fiscal impact on county prosecutors or the Office of Prosecution Services.

Officials from the Office of the 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 for this proposal for Administrative Rules 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.

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.
