LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 82ND LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION Revision 1 April 1, 2011 TO: Honorable Robert Duncan, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs FROM: John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB554 by Carona (Relating to contracts between dentists and health maintenance organizations or insurers.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Insurance Code relating to contracts between dentists and health maintenance organizations or insurers. Based on the analysis provided by TDI, it is assumed that any costs associated with the implementation of this bill would be absorbed within existing agency resources. Also based on information provided by TDI, this analysis assumes that implementation of the bill would result in a small one-time revenue gain ($5,400 in fiscal year 2012) in General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Department of Insurance Fund 36 from filing fees. Since General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Department of Insurance Fund 36 is a self-leveling account, this analysis also assumes that any additional revenue resulting from the implementation of the bill would accumulate in the account fund balances and that the department would adjust the assessment of the maintenance tax or other fees accordingly in the following year. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies:454 Department of Insurance LBB Staff: JOB, KJG, CH
