FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Office of Attorney General, Office of Administration, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Corrections, and the Department of Conservation 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 Department of Transportation (MoDOT) assume the legislation could have potentially significant negative fiscal impact on the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) for the cost of acquiring right of way for public improvement projects, including those requiring right of way for road and bridge projects. Most of MHTC's condemnation proceedings are partial takings. Being required by law to utilize the income approach in partial takings would result in higher damages awarded in such condemnation suits. The fiscal impact would depend on the properties that need to be condemned in the future; therefore, MoDOT is unable to determine the amount.



Oversight assumes the costs to MoDOT could exceed $100,000 in any given fiscal year.



ASSUMPTION (continued)



Officials from the Boone County Recorder of Deeds, Greene County Recorder of Deeds, St. Charles County Recorder of Deeds, and the Jackson County Recorder of Deeds did not respond to Oversight's request for fiscal impact.
