Fiscal Analysis
  
The bill would amend Chapter 385, Health and Safety Code, to expand the
Voluntary Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality for Public Schools to
include government buildings.  Government buildings are defined in the
bill.  Buildings that are regularly occupied or visited by children
would have different guidelines.  The bill would take effect September
1, 2001.
  
  
Methodology
  
A three month implementation period is assumed.

TDH estimated two additional FTEs would be needed to oversee the program,
answer questions, assist in implementation of the guidelines, complete
surveys, prepare reports, and maintain records.  Costs are associated
with the FTEs and general operating expenses.
  
  
Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
