FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION


Officials from the Office of Administration - Administrative Hearing Commission and Division of Accounting assume the proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.


Officials from the Department of Economic Development - Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) state the substitute would have no fiscal impact on their agency.


Officials from the Department of Higher Education and the University of Central Missouri assume this substitute would have no fiscal impact on their agency.


In response to a previous version of the proposal, the MHDC stated the bill would exempt conduit bonds from MHDC's statutory cap on unrated bonds found in Section 215.160, RSMo. The conduit bonds are those issued by MHDC on behalf of local communities for projects that have received an allocation of tax-exempt bonds from DED for housing projects. However, MHDC is not a lender on the projects and carries no risk. As with all bonds issued by MHDC, they are not debts of the state. All the responsibility for paying back the bonds lies with the project itself. MHDC does charge a small administrative fee (0.0025%). These fees would be paid to MHDC's own funds, which lay outside the state treasury, and therefore are not reported in fiscal notes. Because there is no risk to MHDC or the state and there would be no impact to state treasury as a result of this bill, there is no fiscal impact to report.
