Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Human Resources Code to create a voluntary program to recognize licensed before-school and after-school programs that promote healthy eating and physical activity.The bill would require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to develop the program and assess before-school and after-school programs applying for recognition.The bill would require DFPS to post information on the program on their website and maintain a list of each program that qualifies for recognition.The bill would take effect January 1, 2018.
Methodology
According to a 2016 Texas State Alliance of YMCA Report, DFPS estimates that 84 percent of the 779 before-school and after-school programs in the state would apply for a voluntary recognition program. DFPS assumes it would require 3.6 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to conduct program inspections across the 11 regions of the state. The analysis assumes that each additional FTE would cost approximately $66,639 per fiscal year for related benefits and expenses, and approximately $5,400 in fiscal year 2019 for one-time set up costs.In addition, DFPS estimates that upgrades to the Child Care Licensing systems would cost $384,639 in fiscal year 2018 in order to allow for the addition of program information, online applications, and lists of qualifying programs.The Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Education Agency indicate they could absorb the costs associated with the bill within their current resources.
Technology
The annual technology impact totals $384,639 for system upgrades in fiscal year 2018, and approximately $1,350 per FTE each fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2019 for related computer and data center services expenses.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
