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 Introduced
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.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
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.
