FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri State Highway Patrol, - Missouri State Water Patrol, Office of State Public Defender, Columbia Police Department, and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.



Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on the courts.



Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services assume prosecutors could absorb the costs of the proposed legislation within existing resources.





ASSUMPTION (continued)



Officials from the Department of Revenue assume the proposal requires law enforcement officers to provide additional information relative to admissibility of the results of a chemical test that is completed in order to determine probable cause of a charge of driving while intoxicated. This information will be required to be included on the alcohol influence report (AIR) form that is submitted to the Department of Revenue for alcohol related driving violations. This will require several modifications to the AIR system. The AIR form is due for reorder relatively close to the date this legislation would become effective, so costs for revising the form will not exceed $100. However, since the new form will require a special mailing to all law enforcement agencies prior to the effective date of the legislation, the Department of Revenue will incur approximately $2,000 in postage costs in FY 04.
