FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
The Departments of Mental Health, Department of Social Services (DOSS), and Health do not expect to be fiscally impacted by this proposal.
Oversight assumes the DOSS could realize some cost savings in the form of reduced costs related to inspecting and licensing facilities providing care for children. Officials from the DOSS indicated that there are fewer than 20 facilities impacted by this proposal. Oversight assumes that if a judge exempts a facility from licensure, the DOSS will not have to inspect and license this facility resulting in a cost savings expected to be less than $100,000 annually. These unknown cost savings will be reflected in the General Revenue Fund.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal adds language which exempts homes that primarily provide treatment of children with behavioral problems, with the approval of a judge, from the requirements of Sections 210.481 to 210.536 RSMo. These sections relate to licensure of foster homes, etc. which are issued by the Department of Social Services - Division of Family Services.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
