Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol (MHP) assume the proposal would not have a fiscal impact on their agency based upon the following assumptions. The bill, subject to appropriations, gives the authority for the superintendent to designate troopers who would be trained on immigration laws, and makes no provisions for who would provide said training, where the training would be conducted, and at what cost. The Academy may be involved in the training or may host the training.

For purposes of this fiscal note, the Patrol assumes its Academy would not be involved in this training, and there would therefore be no fiscal impact. It is assumed that approximately 30 troopers would initially be sent to offsite training, and that no further troopers would be involved. However, if the implications of this legislation lead another direction and significantly more troopers were to be involved, or if the Patrol's Academy were to become involved in the training, there could be fiscal impact and we have no way to estimate these costs.

Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Director’s Office and the Office of the Governor each assume the proposal would not fiscally impact their respective agencies.

Officials from the Boone County Sheriff’s Department assumed no fiscal impact from the proposal.

In response to a similar proposal from last year (HB 851), officials from the Springfield Police Department assumed they would incur costs from staff time to inquire with Federal authorities on each case where citizenship is in question. Federal authorities are not equipped to give immediate response so extra time for detention is required. The estimated annual cost is $30,000.

In response to a similar proposal from last year (HB 851), officials from the Independence Police Department assumed this proposal would have a significant fiscal impact on local law enforcement regarding the detainment and housing of illegal aliens. Unless there is some commitment from Immigration and Naturalization, we may be in a situation where we must house these illegal aliens for several days resulting in significant costs to the agencies.

The Buchanan County Sheriff, Columbia Police Department, Greene County Sheriff, Kansas City Police Department, and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department did not respond to our request for fiscal impact.

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

Subject to appropriations, this bill requires the Superintendent of the State Highway Patrol to designate some or all members of the patrol to be trained in accordance with a memorandum of

understanding between Missouri and the United States Department of Homeland Security concerning the enforcement of federal immigration laws on federal highways and interstates in Missouri.

Law enforcement officers are required to inquire into the citizenship and immigration status of any person placed under arrest and to verify the legal status of a noncitizen with the federal government.

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