                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Governor's Office assume the proposal would have no fiscal
impact on them.

Based on a response to a similar proposal (HB 1599), the Department of Social
Services (DOS), Division of Family Services (DFS) estimates costs for
reimbursing members of the Missouri Family Services Advisory Council.  Annual
costs were estimated at $13,440 and would provide lodging, travel and meals
for fifteen members for four meetings per year.  Costs would be $13,440 in
FY97; $13,843 in FY98; and $0 in FY99 because the council would expire July
1, 1998.  A 3% inflationary factor was assumed and costs would be 50% federal
and 50% general revenue.

Based on a response to a similar proposal, the Department of Social Services
(DOS), Division of Family Services (DFS) estimates costs based on the
continuation of the Missouri Foster & Group Home Placement Task Force.
Reasonable and necessary expenses in the past were approximately $750 per
meeting.  Since the task force would not expire until January 1, 1998, DFS
assumes that the task force would conduct nine meetings in FY97 and eleven in
FY98.  Costs would be split 64% general revenue and 36% federal.

DESCRIPTION

The proposal would require all members of boards and commissions appointed by
the Governor to be residents of the state at the time of their appointment.
Members who move from the state during their term would be deemed to have
vacated their position.

The proposal would allow the members of the Missouri Family Services Advisory
Council to be reimbursed for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in
the performance of their duties.  This provision contains an emergency
clause.

The proposal would increase the number of foster parents on the Missouri
Foster & Group Home Placement Task Force from two to four.  The Division of
Family Services (DFS) would be required to convene, organize and provide
support services for the task force.  The expiration date of the task force
would be extended until January 1, 1998.

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