Terms Used In Missouri Laws 536.215

  • Affidavit: A written statement of facts confirmed by the oath of the party making it, before a notary or officer having authority to administer oaths.
  • Amendment: A proposal to alter the text of a pending bill or other measure by striking out some of it, by inserting new language, or both. Before an amendment becomes part of the measure, thelegislature must agree to it.
  • Rescission: The cancellation of budget authority previously provided by Congress. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may propose to Congress that funds be rescinded. If both Houses have not approved a rescission proposal (by passing legislation) within 45 days of continuous session, any funds being withheld must be made available for obligation.

If before the effective date, such rule, amendment or rescission is altered to the extent that the cost or reduction in income is changed by more than ten percent, then a new fiscal note and affidavit shall be filed with the order of rulemaking and the new estimated cost shall be published in the Missouri Register.
