Fiscal Analysis
Section 418A.151 of the bill would require the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to support the direction, oversight, and management of the development of regional plans for surge capacity during pandemic disasters, including plans for personal protective equipment.
Methodology
The bill would affect operations at TDEM in two ways, impacting the agency's Preparedness and Response Divisions. First, Section 418A.151 of the bill would task TDEM with direction, oversight, and management of the development of regional plans for surge capacity during pandemic disasters, including plans for personal protective equipment. Per Section 418.044(a) of the Government Code, TDEM must "employ or otherwise secure the services of professional and technical personnel capable of providing expert assistance to political subdivisions and emergency management agencies. In addition to supporting plan development and administration, the agency's Response Division would require additional logistics staff and resources to support long-term deployment relating to pandemic emergency management. TDEM estimates that $2,518,849 in General Revenue for the biennium and 9.0 additional FTEs would be necessary to undertake its responsibilities under the bill.
Technology
This estimate includes costs for the procurement and maintenance of laptops and other technology necessary for the agency to fulfil its responsibilities under the legislation.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implications of the bill concerning guidance on the implementation of local tax rates during a pandemic disaster cannot be determined at this time.
