For fiscal year 2014, a reduction in available funds for At-Risk Direct Care estimated at $13.0 million would result in a reduction in the Average At-Risk Children Served Per Day of 2,825. For fiscal year 2015, a reduction in available funds for At-Risk Direct Care estimated at $13.7 million would result in a reduction in the Average At-Risk Children Served Per Day of 2,888. Based on information provided by the Texas Workforce Commission, 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.
