      TO: Honorable Judith Zaffirini, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 2126, As Engrossed
          Committee on Health & Human Services                              By: Maxey

         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB2126 ( Relating 
to requiring the Department of Human Services to evaluate and 
improve its programs) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB2126-As Engrossed
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         
The bill would require the Department of Human Services to conduct 
research, analysis, and reporting of its programs to evaluate 
and improve its programs.  The department already performs most 
of these functions.  Therefore, implementing the bill would 
not have a significant fiscal impact on the department. 
         
 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
