         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB2126 ( Relating 
to requiring the Department of Human Services to conduct evaluations 
to improve its programs.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB2126-Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
         
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.
