LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 11, 2011 TO: Honorable Richard Pena Raymond, Chair, House Committee on Human Services FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2269 by Strama (Relating to the regulation of child-care facilities by the Texas Workforce Commission and the Department of Family and Protective Services, including the Texas Rising Star Program.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Government Code relating to the regulation of child-care facilities by the Texas Workforce Commission and the Department of Family and Protective Services, including the Texas Rising Star Program. According to information provided by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), implementation of this bill would result in a shift of existing appropriated funds from direct child care services to quality child care initiatives. TWC's analysis assumes there would be a reduction in the number of at-risk children being served by subsidized child care services. The funding shift is estimated to have the following impact to the number of children served. For fiscal year 2012, a reduction in available funds for At-Risk Direct Care estimated at $16.2 million would result in a reduction in the Average At-Risk Children Served Per Day of 3,839. For fiscal year 2013, a reduction in available funds for At-Risk Direct Care estimated at $17.0 million would result in a reduction in the Average At-Risk Children Served Per Day of 3,977. Based on the analysis of the Texas Workforce Commission, Department of Family and Protective Services, Central Education Agency, and the Office of the Governor, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
