Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code relating to emergency service districts. The bill would change the training requirements of commissioners of emergency service districts (ESDs). The bill would require the Texas Department of Rural Affairs (TDRA) not later than June 1, 2012, to determine the necessary ESD board member training, provide the training, and approve any training course provided by another entity. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members of each house, or on September 1, 2011 if it does not receive the two-thirds vote.

Methodology
Based on the analysis provided by TDRA, implementation of this bill would require 1 additional FTE to provide the services to the ESDs at a cost of $83,252 in General Revenue and $30,000 in Appropriated Receipts from funding TDRA assumes it would receive from the Meadows Foundation. This analysis assumes that the funding from the Meadows Foundation would be available each fiscal year of 2012 through 2016. Each year, the 1 FTE would cost $50,000 for salaries and wages with associated benefit costs of $14,483, travel costs of $35,379, other personnel costs and professional services of $2,904, utilities cost of $2,800, and telephone, consumables, rent, and other operating expenses of $7,686.
Technology
No significant technology impact is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
The bill would require emergency services commissioners to complete a training course to be determined by the Texas Department of Rural Affairs. Costs to emergency services districts would vary depending on course requirements but are not anticipated to be significant.
