Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Section 141.002, Health and Safety Code, by amending the definition of a youth camp to include those camps offering a single recreational, athletic, religious, or educational activity. The definition would also include short-term camps, which are defined as camps operating for at least 14 consecutive or nonconsecutive days each year for any portion of the day and offering residential services. The bill requires that rules be adopted by the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission to implement the provisions of the bill. The bill would take effect immediately with a two-thirds vote in each house. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2009. Although the estimate is a positive impact to General Revenue in fiscal year 2010, additional funding and FTEs would need to be appropriated to the Department of State Health Services.

Methodology
The Department of State Health Services (DSHS) estimates that implementation of the bill would require that 640 youth camps be newly licensed and inspected in fiscal year 2010, and an additional 120 new camps would be licensed each year thereafter. Renewals are on a yearly basis. The bill would result in a total increase in revenue of $265,000 in General Revenue Funds in fiscal year 2010 and $179,000 per fiscal year thereafter. Costs for DSHS are estimated to be $261,411 in All Funds for fiscal year 2010, $282,974 for fiscal year 2011, $283,403 for fiscal year 2012, $280,958 in fiscal year 2013, and $284,908 for fiscal year 2014. Included in these costs are FTE costs of $108,446 ($30,983 for employee benefits) in fiscal year 2010 and $143,791 ($41,081 for employee benefits) in fiscal years 2011-2014 for three additional full-time equivalents.
