                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Highways & Transportation indicate that this
legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency.

Officials of the Department of Economic Development - Division of
Transportation assume that this legislation would have no fiscal impact on
their agency, as it would not change, duplicate, or eliminate any of the
license fees currently collected by the Division.

Officials of the St. Joseph Airport, which is owned by the City of St.
Joseph, indicate that this proposal should have no fiscal impact on the City,
since the airport does not presently offer commercial services.  Airport
officials also indicated that there are two other city-owned airports in
northwestern Missouri, but that there should be no fiscal impact to those
cities as a result of this proposal as they also do not offer commercial
services.

Officials of Buchanan County indicate that there are no city or county-owned
airports in the county other than the airport in St. Joseph.

City of St. Louis officials indicate that since the airport presently
collects certain fees from motor carriers, the proposal would not have any
major fiscal impact on the City, and would possibly increase airport revenues
only slightly.

City of Kansas City officials assume that this proposal would allow the
airport to collect revenues based on airport cost and use.  Officials
indicate that Kansas City presently has Kansas limousine companies and other
motor carriers with passengers that obtain permits from the Missouri Division
of Transportation that exempts them from providing revenues to support
airport costs.  City officials assume that passage of this legislation would
allow the City to recoup airport costs, reduce present non-motor carrier
subsidies, and collect from presently exempt motor carriers annual revenues
estimated at $304,775.

program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
