John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB40 by Zaffirini (Relating to an immunization education program established by the Texas Department of Health.), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Department of Health (TDH) to establish a continuous statewide education program. The bill would also require TDH to increase coordination among public and private entities that have an interest in immunizations. TDH indicates that the agency will continue to receive federal funds to operate the program. Therefore, TDH believes that any additional cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill would be absorbed within the agency's current resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
