FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Senate assume the expenses of the committee probably would not exceed $2,500 per year and could be paid from the Joint Contingent appropriations without an increase.
Officials from the House of Representatives and Legislative Research assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their budgets.
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on DESE or school districts.
Officials from the Special School District of St. Louis County stated they receive approximately $23 million annually for vocational education from federal, state and local sources. Of the $23 million, approximately $600,000 is from the federal government, $4.8 million is from the state and $17,600,000 is from local sources. Approximately $22.5 million is expended annually on vocational education.
DESE assumes approximately the same amount of state aid would be paid to the provider of vocational education services, if the sunset clause under the current law remained in effect, and another entity provided the services for the Special School District of St. Louis County. Therefore, the Oversight Division has included no fiscal impact for state government.
