LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 14, 2015 TO: Honorable Richard Peña Raymond, Chair, House Committee on Human Services FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB277 by Schwertner (Relating to certain health-related and other task forces and advisory committees.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would partially implement the Sunset Advisory Commission recommendations concerning the health and human services agencies. The bill would abolish certain health-related task forces and advisory committees. The bill would establish issue areas that advisory committees may be created to support. A reduction in the number of advisory committees could result in savings, to the degree such committees are not reestablished in rule. The bill would also combine the Pharmaceutical and Therapeutics Committee and the Drug Utilization Review Board which could result in savings, by consolidating the vendor contracts that support the separate committees. The bill would become effective on September 1, 2015, except for certain provisions which would become effective on January 1, 2016. This analysis assumes that the agencies could implement provisions of the bill with existing resources.
