ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials from the Department of Revenue assume the proposed legislation would have no administrative impact on their department.
Officials from the Department of Health (DOH) assume the proposed legislation would not be expected to significantly impact the operations of the DOH. If the proposal were to substantially impact the DOH programs, then the DOH would request funding through the appropriations process.
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Division of Fire Safety noted that they do not know how many buildings in the State of Missouri would have to meet these requirements. There are no statewide fire codes and many local jurisdictions lack fire safety and building codes. This would have been one avenue to determine how many buildings would need to comply with this proposal. As a result many jurisdictions may not have local authorities to contract with, such as building inspectors and fire service personnel (over 80% of Missouri's fire service is volunteer). As a result the division may have to request FTE's and General Revenue funding in order to insure compliance. However, at this time it is unknown how many FTE's and what funds would be required to enforce the provisions of this proposal.
