This authority would otherwise expire on September 1, 2009. The bill would take effect August 31, 2009.

Methodology
This analysis assumes yearly grant amounts currently included in Senate Bill 1, Eighty-first Legislature, Regular Session ($5.0 million per fiscal year). These funds are included in the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) bill pattern, strategy B.3.2, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Infrastructure Grants. According to DSHS, the administrative costs for the FQHC grant program was $148,895 in fiscal year 2008. The budgeted fiscal year 2009 amount is approximately $169,000.
