O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB1837 by Patrick, Dan (Relating to the continuation of the Texas Bleeding Disorders Advisory Council.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill continues the Texas Bleeding Disorders Advisory Council (Council) established by Senate Bill 1566, 80th Legislature, and allows the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to accept on behalf of the Council, gifts, grants and donations to fulfill the Councils purposes, which include advising DSHS, the Texas Department of Insurance, and the Health and Human Services Commission on issues affecting individuals with hemophilia and other bleeding, clotting disorders. The section expires and the council is abolished September 1, 2013. This act would take effect immediately if it receives two-thirds vote of all members of each house. If it does not receive the necessary votes it would take effect September 1, 2009. The original legislation establishing the Council (SB 1566) included language specifically prohibiting the Council from receiving any funds that are appropriated by the legislature and designated for the purpose of treatment of hemophilia and other bleeding or clotting disorders, therefore it is assumed that any costs associated with the Council can be absorbed within existing DSHS resources.
