ASSUMPTION
Officials with the State Treasurer's Office and Department of Transportation assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Section 194.220 of the proposal could allow a parent or guardian to sign the back of the minor's license for consent regarding health care decisions.
Officials with Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this section could eliminate the cost associated with programming the over the counter system which is necessary due to legislation enacted in 2002.
FY 04-Cost Avoidance
Contracted Programming (100 hours*$100) $10,000
Programming Salaries (704 hours*$21.25) $14,960
Total $24,960
Section 301.020 of this proposal could require the director of revenue to ask each applicant when registering a motor vehicle if they are interested in donating $1 for the Organ Donor Fund and to collect these funds and deposit them into the appropriate fund.
ASSUMPTION (continued)
Officials with the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) assume there could be an increase in the funds distributed to the Organ Donor Fund. DHSS assumes that approximately $40,000 in additional collections through vehicle licensing could be expected.
Officials with DOR note that they cannot determine the amount of revenue that could be collected and deposited into the organ donor fund. For FY02, DOR collected $277,288 from the $1 donation program on the driver license transactions. For fiscal note purposes, Oversight will use the estimation of $40,000.
DOR could also incur cost for forms, revisions in procedures, envelopes and postage. DOR notes that it could incur an annual cost increase of $5.00 per 1,000 forms ordered for the title application (DOR-108) and $4.50 per 1,000 forms ordered for the renewal application (DOR-289). The $1 donation item could require movement of a desensitization area and spot tissue carbon and increase te size of the form. The current vendor has quoted the increased cost for these modifications as stated above. DVSB orders approximately 3,000,000 DOR-108 and 3,000,000 DOR-289 annually. Oversight notes that the current forms are congested and once the move is made to a larger form (see annual cost above) then other items can be added to the form with no additional charge.
DOR-Information Technology Bureau could incur programming cost to make modifications to the Uniform Field Office System (UFOS), the Missouri Transportation Accounting System and the Missouri On-Line Registration Exchange (MORE) to include a new $1 donation.
Oversight notes that the proposal does have provisions to allow DOR to receive 1% of the proceeds to offset administrative costs. Oversight has included the 1% for fiscal note purposes, however officials with DOR assume they could need legislative appropriations to distribute these funds.
To implement this legislation, DOR could require additional funds. In the past, the programs included in this legislation have been paid for with highway funds. This year, however, highway funds may not be available for this purpose as a result of legislation enacted by the General Assembly in 2000 that limits the use of highway funds.

FY 04- Income and Cost
Income from organ donor contributions $40,000
