                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Missouri Housing Development Commission, State Tax
Commission, Department of Revenue and the Department of Economic Development
indicate that there would be no fiscal impact to their agencies.

City of St. Louis and LeMay Fire Protection District officials also indicate
that there would be no direct fiscal impact to their political subdivisions.

Officials of the State Tax Commission indicate that local governments
participating in the tax increment financed development project may receive
less taxes than would otherwise be generated by the redevelopment area for
the duration of the project.  However, any potential fiscal impact would be
indeterminable.  For purposes of this fiscal note, Oversight assumes that
there would be a redistribution of local TIF revenues from the TIF Fund to
the Affordable Housing Fund.  However, the overall impact to local
governments would result in a net impact of $0.

There would be a redistribution of monies from
the TIF Fund to the Affordable Housing Fund      0         0    0


FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

This proposal would not directly affect small businesses.


DESCRIPTION

This legislation would require that local governments which authorize tax
increment financing redevelopment projects after December 31, 1996 set aside
20% of the tax increment in an Affordable Housing Fund to be used to provide
low-interest loans and grants for affordable housing.

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