The proposed legislation relates to Public Law 566, watershed projects. There are no state funds used for the PL 566 effort. Therefore, the DNR will not be fiscally impacted by this legislation. Changes the name of the Farmers Home Administration to the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Development. Implementation is the responsibility of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Funding is subject to appropriation.
For any given rule, roughly half again as many pages are published in the Missouri Register as in the Code because cost statements, fiscal notes and the like are not repeated in the Code. These costs are estimates. The actual costs could be more or less than the numbers given. The impact of this legislation in future years is unknown and depends upon the frequency and length of rules filed, amended, rescinded or withdrawn. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process.
