Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Human Resources Code to require the Department on Aging and Disability Services (DADS) to conduct an on-site survey in each group or foster home at which a home and community-based services provider provides services, at least every 12 months. The surveys must be conducted in a manner consistent with surveys conducted under Section 142.009, Health and Safety Code. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009. If a state agency determines that a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is necessary for implementation of the provisions of the bill, the agency affected by the provision shall request the waiver or authorization and may delay implementation of the provision until the waiver or authorization is granted.

Methodology
Under the provisions of the bill, the Department on Aging and Disability Services (DADS) estimates that 7,673 residences would be reviewed annually with an average review time of 4.78 hours per residence (7,673 X 4.78 = 36,677 total hours). The agency estimated an annual amount of available time per reviewer to be 1,420 hours, resulting in the need for an additional 26 FTEs (36,677/1420) to complete the reviews and 2 manager FTEs, which would be phased in FY10. According to the agency, the costs associated with these additional FTEs would be $1,783,653 in FY2010 and $2,185,900 for fiscal years 2011-2014. These costs include salaries, benefits, travel, other operating expenses, and enterprise support services costs.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
