                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Social Services, the Department of
Corrections, and the Office of the Governor assume this proposal would not
fiscally impact their agency.

Officials of the Office of Administration assume this proposal would not
fiscally impact their agency.  However, they indicated that in times of rapid
prison population growth, this proposal could reduce the state and political
subdivision's options to contract for space and result in the over building
of jail capacity.

This proposal would prohibit the operation or management of any correctional
facility or jail within Missouri by a private person, corporation,
partnership, business, association or other entity unless the facility or
jail were already in operation on the effective date 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.
