Fiscal Year Change in Number of State Employees from FY 2011 2012 6.0 2013 6.0 2014 6.0 2015 4.0 2016 2.0 Fiscal Analysis The bill would implement recommendations in the report, "Improve the Administration of the Texas Economic Development Act" in the Legislative Budget Board's Government Effectiveness and Efficiency Report submitted to the Eighty-second Texas Legislature, 2011. The bill would provide that the Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA), rather than school districts, would be a party to agreements for value limitation under the Texas Economic Development Act. The bill would require the CPA to evaluate certain criteria for the purposes of the economic impact evaluation of proposed projects, and to make a determination on the project rather than a recommendation as required under current law. The bill would also transfer fee authority from school districts to the CPA for the administration of the Texas Economic Development Act. Methodology The shift of Texas Economic Development Act responsibilities and duties from school districts to the CPA throughout the bill would increase the Comptroller's administrative costs related to future agreements. The CPA estimates the administrative cost associated with the bill would include hiring 6 FTEs in fiscal year 2012 to handle duties associated with calculation, collection, application processing, and delivery of revenue protection funds for school districts, diminishing to 2 FTEs in fiscal year 2016 due to the expiration of the program. It is assumed that costs associated with the bill would be offset by fee revenue collected from applicants to the program.
