Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services (DPRS) to conduct a study of a random sample of five percent of its state office contracts to determine the extent to which contractors providing program services for children achieve goals, outcomes and program objectives. The bill would also require DPRS to report by December 31, 2004 on the results of the study and to make recommendations for improving program services. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2003.
Methodology
The Department of Protective and Regulatory Services estimates that the study and report would require 133 working hours by a variety of state office staff for an estimated cost of $4,138 plus $48 to duplicate the report. The agency assumes that there would be no need to hire additional staff to complete the project. The agency also assumes that these costs would not be significant at current funding levels.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
