FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Department of Economic Development- Professional Registration officials assume no fiscal impact.



Officials of the Office of State Courts Administrator assume no fiscal impact to the Courts.



Officials of the City of St. Louis did not respond, however, in response to an identical bill from last session (HB 1194) city officials stated that " the existence of a lien would provide a means by which the City could pursue reimbursement for the costs of board-up or demolition, and thus potentially increase revenues received for this purpose. In 2001, the City of St. Louis performed over $2.6 million in derelict building abatement and demolition work. In the same time frame, the City received just over $130,000 in payments."



Oversight will show income to the City of St. Louis as $0 to $2,600,000.
