FISCAL NOTE
74th Regular Session
March 21, 1995
TO: Honorable Judith Zaffirini, Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. 606
Committee on Health & Human Services By: Zaffirini
Senate
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
606 (Relating to the detection and prevention of osteoporosis;
making an appropriation.) this office has determined the
following:
The bill would create the Advisory Council for the Prevention of
Osteoporosis and direct the commissioner of public health to
develop and implement a program to promote public awareness of
osteoporosis detection, prevention, and treatment. The bill
would exempt the Advisory Council from provisions in Article
6252-33, Revised Statutes, relating to advisory committee
reimbursement.
The bill makes an appropriation of $250,000 from the General
Revenue Fund for each fiscal year in the biennium ending August
31, 1997 for the purposes outlined.
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 Change in
Year of General Number of State
Revenue Fund 001 Employees from
FY 1995
1996 $250,000 2.0
1997 250,000 2.0
1998 250,000 2.0
1999 250,000 2.0
2000 250,000 2.0
Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.
No fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
