FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Economic Development (DED)-Professional Registration (DPR) assume the costs to implement the program in the proposal would range from $48,000 to $60,000 annually. This is based on surveying various states with a similar program. Therefore, for purposes of this fiscal note, it is estimated that costs to enter into a contractual agreement creating, supporting and maintaining a "well-being committee" would be $54,000 per year. The Missouri Dental Board is estimating a fee increase of $5 per year for dental hygienists and $12 per year for dentists to assist in covering the costs associated with this program. DPR estimates the net effect of the proposal would be $980 in FY 01 and ($689) in FY 02.
Oversight assumes the proposal is permissive relating to the establishment of a well-being committee and therefore, has not included associated income and expenses in the fiscal impact specifications below. Furthermore, if the Board would choose to establish such a committee, increased fees should offset any additional expenses.
Officials from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOL) assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on its agency.
