FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Higher Education (DHE) assume this legislation has no direct fiscal impact on the DHE. However, it could have an impact on the higher education institution included due to costs incurred with changes in signage, stationary, and other related changes, including costs associated with prospective changes in institutional mission.



Officials from Missouri Western State College assume this proposal would have no impact on their organization. They stated that with proper planning, the change could be done at minimal cost and would not result in the need for additional state appropriations.



Oversight assumes this proposal would result in minimal one-time costs to Missouri Western State College for signage, stationary, and other related changes. Oversight further assumes there would be no permanent increase in operating costs as a result of this proposal, and that any costs associated with prospective changes in institutional mission would be addressed through the normal state budget process for higher education.
