TO: Honorable Harvey Hilderbran, Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. 58, As Engrossed
Committee on Human Services By: Zaffirini
House
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB58 ( Relating
to continued participation by certain AFDC recipients in the
jobs opportunities and basic skill (JOBS) training program.)
this office has detemined the following:
Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB58-As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
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 add a provision to the Mandatory
Work or Participation in Employment Activities through the Jobs
Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) Program. The section
requires the department (Texas Workforce Commission) to allow
former AFDC recipients who have been participating in the JOBS
program to complete the work or employment activities even though
they have become ineligible to receive financial benefits due
to receipt of child support. It also requires that the department
provide the person necessary child care services until the date
on which the person completes work or employment activities.
Implementation
may be delayed if a waiver or other federal authorization is
necessary.
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.
