Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend sections of Chapter 42, Human Resources Code, that deal with inspections, background checks, and administrative penalties, and Chapter 43 that deal with background checks and the grounds for taking remedial action against an administrator's permit. The bill would require fingerprint-based background checks for all residential child-care providers. The bill would also require fingerprint-based background checks to be eligible for a child-care administrator's license.
Methodology
The Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) estimates that the bill could be implemented with the addition of 1.0 FTE to the Centralized Background Check Unit to perform an estimated 23,594 fingerprint-based background checks per year. Costs associated with the FTE total $68,320 in fiscal year 2014 and $60,814 in fiscal years 2015-2018. Additionally, DFPS would be responsible for paying the fee associated with the background check for its own staff. An estimated 2,289 fingerprint-based background checks would be performed in fiscal year 2014 for its own staff at a cost $41.45 per background check ($94,879) and fiscal years 2015-2018 would see an increase of 419 background checks per year ($17,368).
