                       74th Regular Session

                          April 18, 1995



 TO:     Honorable John T. Montford, Chair      IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on Finance                                   for Senate
         Senate                                 Bill No. 384
         Austin, Texas                             









FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
384 (relating to state aid for counties that provide secure
residential care facilities for certain delinquent children) this
office has determined the following:

The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.

This bill would provide funding through the Texas Juvenile
Probation Commission to counties that provide secure post-
adjudication residential treatment for delinquent youth.  The
bill would also authorize the Juvenile Probation Commission to
promulgate standards for such facilities and monitor for
compliance.   The bill would direct that a portion of state aid
appropriated to the Commission for purposes provided in the bill
be used to establish juvenile boot camps in five regions of the
State designated by the Commission.

The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first  five years following passage
is estimated as follows:

       Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the 
provisions of the bill are in effect.
