TO: Honorable John T. Montford, Chair IN RE: House BillNo. 1341,
Committee on Finance as engrossed
Senate By: Stiles
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1341 (Relating to the operation and funding of the Work and
Family Policies Clearinghouse) this office has determined the
following:
The bill would amend the Texas Health and Safety Code, the Local
Government Code and the Labor Code and increase funding for the
Work and Family Policies Clearinghouse Program of the Texas
Employment Commission. The bill would increase program funding
by establishing a $2 fee for a certified copy of a birth
certificate. The bill would allow counties to keep $.20 of the
fee for administrative costs and deposit the remaining $1.80 in
the state treasury to the credit of the Work and Family Policies
Fund.
The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first five years following passage
is estimated as follows:
Fiscal Probable Cost Out Probable Revenue Probable Revenue
