FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 28, 2021

TO:
Honorable Stephanie Klick, Chair, House Committee on Public Health
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2333 by Howard (Relating to the establishment of the home nursing visitation for newborn caregivers competitive grant program.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to create a home visitation for newborn caregivers grant program and require reporting on performance, implementation and status of the program.

The bill would require DFPS to seek and apply for any available federal and state money to assist in financing the grant program and would allow DFPS to solicit and accept gifts, grants, and donations to operate the grant program.

Based on analysis of DFPS, it is assumed that the costs to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
