FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§41.942 and 105.270 - Leaves of Absence for Military Service
Officials from the Office of Administration (OA) assume that §105.270. states that all officers and employees of this state, or of any department or agency thereof, or of any county, municipality, school district, or other political subdivision, and all other public employees of this state who are or may become members of the National Guard or of any reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States, shall be entitled to leave of absence from their respective duties, without loss of time, pay, regular leave, impairment of efficiency rating, or of any other rights or benefits, to which otherwise entitled, for all periods of military services during which they are engaged in the performance of duty or training in the service of this state at the call of the governor and as ordered by the adjutant general without regard to length of time, and for all periods of military services during which they are engaged in the performance of duty in the service of the United States under competent orders for a period not to exceed a total of thirty- eight days in any federal fiscal year.
Thus, allowing an additional 184 hours of leave with pay - military time. The increase in hours would potentially have a cost impact of $0 to unknown, but a potential estimate of $2,308,885.36
Calculations are based on the team members from Federal Fiscal Year 2025 who utilized leave with pay-military time (467 Team members) multiplied by the average hourly rate of state team members ($26.87) multiplied by the proposed hours of 184 minus the team members from Federal Fiscal Year 2025 who utilized leave with pay-military time (467 Team members) multiplied by the average hourly rate state team members ($26.87) by 120.
((467*$26.87)*304)) – ((467*$26.87)*120)) = $2,308,885.36
There is no way to calculate how much of this leave would be used, and specifically, how many military state team members would utilize the full amount of leave. The agency is unable to say for certain the number and duration that a military state team member would use leave with pay- military time, the agency has calculated a range of $0 to unknown, but a potential estimate of $2,308,885.36
There isn't a data-driven formula to pull information for the volunteer firefighters, so the agency has not added anything for volunteer firefighters.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will show the fiscal impact of up to $2,308,885 in cost to General Revenue for various state agencies as estimated by the OA.

Officials from the University of Missouri System (UM) state that the University of Missouri has reviewed this proposed legislation and while difficult to calculate the financial impact, UM anticipates it would be minimal.
In response to similar legislation, HB 2940 (2026), officials from the University of Central Missouri stated that there would be an indeterminate fiscal impact on the university.
Oversight notes that §105.270.1 includes who is considered a qualified employee for leave with pay – military time. Therefore, for fiscal note purposes, Oversight will show a fiscal impact to colleges and universities along with local political subdivisions of $0 (no qualified employees take leave with pay – military time) to an Unknown cost for qualified employees that take leave with pay that could exceed the $250,000 threshold.
Officials from the Department of Public Safety-Fire Safety, Department of Public Safety- Office of the Director, and Missouri National Guard each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.
Oversight only reflects the responses that we have received from state agencies and political subdivisions; however, other local subdivisions were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did not. Upon the receiving additional responses, Oversight will review to determine if an updated fiscal note should be prepared and seek the necessary approval to publish a new fiscal note. A general listing of political subdivisions included in our database is available upon request.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
Currently, all officers and employees of this state, or of any department or agency thereof, or of any county, municipality, school district, or other political subdivision, and all other public employees of this state who are or may become members of the National Guard or of any reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States, are entitled to leave of absence from their respective duties, without loss of time, pay, regular leave, impairment of efficiency rating, or of any other rights or benefits, to which otherwise entitled, for all periods of military services during which they are engaged in the performance of duty or training in the service of this state at the call of the Governor and as ordered by the Adjutant General without regard to length of time, and for all periods of military services during which they are engaged in the performance of duty in the service of the United States under competent orders for a period not to exceed a total of 120 hours in any federal fiscal year.
This bill increases the amount of time from 120 hours to 38 working days. This bill also prevents the loss of position, seniority, accumulated leave, impairment of performance appraisal, pay status, work schedule including shift, working days and days off assigned to volunteer firefighters who are also on leave for military duties.
