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.

Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education assume that, financially, the proposal would result in significant costs to the state and local school districts to track, determine, and report parental attendance at the required meetings.

Oversight assumes that time during the school year is already scheduled for parental participation and that any additional reporting requirements could be completed by school districts without additional significant cost. Oversight also assumes any costs incurred by DESE relating to this proposal could be absorbed within existing DESE resources. If additional resources do become necessary, funding can be requested through the budget process.

Officials from the Poplar Bluff School District and St Louis Public School District responded to the request for fiscal note but did not address whether there would be any actual fiscal impact.

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.
