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 Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the proposal will require the DOR and Office of Administration – Information Technology Services Division (OA-ITSD) to modify the Over the Counter license application and supporting systems to issue a concealed carry endorsement for a 6-year period versus the current 3-year term.

The DOR will need to modify the their website information regarding concealed carry endorsement issuance.

This legislation will require programming changes to the Missouri Electronic Driver License (MEDL also referred to as Over The Counter-OTC) software and supporting applications. These programming changes will need to be designed and tested.

20 hours estimated for project completion (requirements and system testing) x $100 hours (hourly rate for an OTC contractor) = $2,000.

Officials from the Boone County Sheriff’s Department (BCSD) assume there are two additional agencies contracted with the BCSD to issue concealed carry endorsements and also to renew those endorsements. The losses to those agencies directly impact losses by the BCSD and vise versa. Officials project the losses for each agency as outlined below:

Boone County Sheriff’s Department would incur losses of $3,162 every three years, or $1,054 annually. The Ashland Police Department would incur losses of $567 every three years, or $189 annually. The Hallsville Police Department would incur losses of $3,179 every three years, or $1,059 annually. These figures are based on 2007 data regarding the number of renewed concealed carry endorsements by each agency. The number of concealed carry permit applications has increased an average of 234% over the past three years. Therefore, officials expect that losses will increase at the same rate.

Based on information provided by the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, Oversight assumes the statewide losses to local law enforcement agencies could exceed $100,000 annually. Oversight assumes local law enforcement agencies would not incur the losses until FY 2012, because current endorsements would still expire in three years.

Officials from the Clark County Sheriff’s Department, Greene County Sheriff’s Department, Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Platte County Sheriff’s Department, and the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Department did not respond to Oversight’s request for fiscal impact.

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

The proposed legislation increases from three years to six years the period of time a concealed carry endorsement is valid.

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