FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 2, 2003

TO:
Honorable Jane Nelson, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
 
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB1050 by Nelson (Relating to the confidentiality of information associated with family violence centers.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Currently the Department of Human Services is prohibited from disclosing information collected through reports, case data, or inspections that would identify a particular center or person working at or receiving services at a family violence center or special project. The bill would amend Chapter 51 the Texas Human Resources Code to include, in the exemption from disclosure, any information that identifies staff, board members, clients, or center locations.


Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
