This fiscal note contains 3 pages. Officials assume since this proposal would exclude the City from state restrictions on enabling gun regulations, ordinances, etc., it is possible in the future that revenues could be generated from potential fees on firearms, but currently there would be no fiscal impact.
Oversight assumes no state fiscal impact.
The potential would exist for revenue to be generated from gun regulation. No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal. Currently, counties, cities, towns, villages, municipalities, and other political subdivisions are prohibited from adopting ordinances or regulations concerning firearms which are not consistent with Sections 571.010 to 571.070, RSMo, concerning weapons offenses. This bill exempts the City of St. Louis from this prohibition. This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
