Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to create an evidence-based youth development competitive grant pilot program. The grant program must provide services to no more than 75 adolescents to assist them in making healthy and beneficial life choices. The grant program must be in Bexar County located in zip codes in which the school-age birth rate is at least three times the nation average, at least 90 percent of the student population is economically disadvantaged, and the dropout rate of grades 7 to 12 is greater than 5 percent. The grant must target adolescents who are: at risk for becoming pregnant or causing an unplanned pregnancy or who already have a child; at risk for engaging or are engaging in delinquent behavior; are at risk of dropping out of school; live in foster care or in a facility operated by the state; or live in economically disadvantaged circumstances. The program must operate for not less than nine months or an academic school year. The grant funds may only be used for administering the program, including site selection and required evaluation and quality monitoring; training and managing staff; paying staff salaries and expenses; and paying for program facilities and expenses. No later than December 1, 2010 HHSC must submit a report to the legislature regarding the performance of each grant recipient with respect to providing evidence-based youth development program services, including the number of low-income adolescents served, and the number of adolescents who became pregnant or caused a pregnancy. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009. No later than December 1, 2009 HHSC must implement the grant program. This subchapter would expire September 1, 2011.

Methodology
HHSC estimates that $118,306 in General Revenue Funds would be needed in fiscal year 2010 and $88,770 in General Revenue Funds would be needed in fiscal year 2011. HHSC estimates that $88,770 in Appropriated Receipts (gifts, grants and donations) would be collected and expended in fiscal year 2011 to assist in funding the grant program. If TANF Federal Funds were available, the cost to General Revenue could be reduced, but these funds would need to be appropriated to the agency for this purpose.
