LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE 74th Regular Session March 20, 1995 TO: Honorable Ken Armbrister, Chair IN RE: Senate BillNo. 1020 Committee on State Affairs By: Brown Senate Austin, Texas FROM: John Keel, Director In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No. 1020 (Relating to the transfer of certain programs from the governor's office.) 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. The bill would transfer the Office of Immigration and Refugee Affairs from the Governor's Office to the Department of Human Services. The bill would transfer the Health and Human Services Transportation and Planning Office from the Governor's Office to the Health and Human Services Commission. The bill would transfer the Energy Office and the Energy Management Center from the Governor's Office to the General Services Commission. The bill also specifies the Energy Office as the state agency responsible for administration of the Native American Restitutionary Program. Because the receiving agencies are currently providing the services through Interagency Contracts from the Governor's Office, it is anticipated that the transfers will have no fiscal impact on the receiving agencies. No fiscal implication to the State or units of local government is anticipated. Source: Office of the Governor, General Services Commission, Department of Human Services LBB Staff: JK, ML, DF
