The bill's requirement for Texas Education Agency by January 1, 2004, to develop a plan to establish pre-kindergarten programs within the subsidized child-care service industry has a fiscal implication. In developing the plan the agency must seek input from parents eligible to receive subsidized child-care services, parents of children eligible for enrollment in a prekindergarten program, school districts, the Texas Workforce Commission, local workforce development boards, the child-care resource and referral network, and and the Texas Head Start Collaboration Project. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) estimates it would cost $200,000 to undertake the study required by the bill.
The Texas Workforce Commission identifies approximately $90,000 in 2004-2005 costs that are assumed to be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.
