FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



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 Labor and Industrial Relations assume the proposed legislation increases from $5 to $7.50 the surcharge assessed in certain criminal court proceedings and deposited to the credit of the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund. In 2001, Senate Bill 267 provided for the identical increase in §595.045, RSMo. Since the proposed language is used to reference existing §595.045, RSMo, this bill simply provides continuity in language between the two statutory sections by updating §488.5339.1, RSMo. Based on the authority of Senate Bill 267, the increased surcharge was in effect on August 28, 2001. Consequently, this proposal has no fiscal impact.

FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2004

FY 2005 FY 2006

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.





DESCRIPTION



The proposed legislation would modify a section of law to make it consistent with a previous change to Section 595.045, RSMo, which increased the surcharge on criminal cases for the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund from $5 to $7.50.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
