LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 19, 2009 TO: Honorable David Dewhurst, Lieutenant Governor, Senate FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB572 by Shapiro (Relating to transportation safety training requirements for certain child-care providers. ), As Passed 2nd House No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Section 42.0421 of the Human Resources Code by adding a subsection that would direct the Department of Family and Protective Services to require, by rule, that owners, operators, or employees of a child-care operation whose reponsibilities include the transportation of children under the age of nine years must complete at least two hours of annual training on transportation safety. The agency indicates that the minimal cost associated with amending rules and modifying the CLASS system to add the new rules could be absorbed within existing resources. It is possible that child care providers affected by the bill could face increased costs to provide the training and this may lead to an increase in rates paid for these services over time.
