LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 27, 2017 TO: Honorable Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor, Senate Honorable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB634 by Estes (Relating to reporting requirements for certain skills development fund workforce training program providers.), Conference Committee Report No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. This bill would amend the Labor Code relating to reporting requirements for certain skills development fund workforce training program providers. The bill requires the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service or a public community or technical college to refund skills development grants to the Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) if the institution fails to submit a report on program effectiveness and improvement. Based on information provided by the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service, and Texas State Technical College System, this analysis assumes the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources. This analysis assumes that the reports would be submitted in a timely manner; thus, the provisions of the bill would not have a significant fiscal impact unless an institution fails to submit a report. Based on information provided by the CPA, the amount and timing of the refund transfers to the General Revenue Fund is unknown; therefore, the fiscal impact cannot be estimated. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2017, and applies to reports due no later than October 1, 2018. Local Government Impact This analysis assumes that the institutions would already be compliant with the reporting requirements; thus, the provisions of the bill would not have a significant fiscal impact to a public community or technical college, unless the institution fails to remain in compliance.
