The legislation would take effect on September 1, 2025.
Methodology
Based on analysis from TDHCA, the agency would require 2.0 additional FTEs to implement the bill's provisions. The agency would need 1.0 Information Technology Business Analyst I position with an annual salary of $70,662 and benefits of $21,143 to manage the daily operations of the database. The agency would need 1.0 Programmer III with an annual salary of $85,200 and benefits of $25,492 to build and maintain a web application that would allow political subdivisions to submit the required report and allow the public to access the information. The agency would require $4,180 each fiscal year for other operating expenses associated with the additional FTEs.

The agency would require $35,000 for one-time costs in fiscal year 2026 for initial cybersecurity penetration testing of the new module.
