Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Family Code as it relates to alcohol and controlled substance statistics compiled and reported by the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). The bill would require DFPS to report certain information pertaining to a child being born with an addiction to alcohol or a controlled substance and to report on the number of parents who test positive for the presence of a controlled substance during an investigation. The information must be made available on the DFPS website. The change in law made by the bill would apply to information collected by DFPS on and after the effective date of the bill.

Methodology
According to DFPS, implementing the provisions of the bill would require updates to the Information Management Protecting Adults and Children in Texas (IMPACT) system, which is the agency's automated casework system, in order to: 1) capture information pertaining to a child being born with an addiction to alcohol or controlled substances; and 2) report the number of parents testing positive for a controlled substance during an investigation of a report of abuse or neglect of the parent's child. The agency's estimated cost for these system changes is $1,493,872 (14,567.25 hours X $102.55 per hour) in fiscal year 2014 in All Funds, including $1,330,054 in General Revenue Funds.
