| IN RE: | SB1237 by Estes (Relating to additional fees assessed against institutions licensed under Chapter 242, Health and Safety Code), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would exempt veterans homes from trustee fund assessments. The Department of Human Services (DHS) indicated that there are 4 veteran’s homes each with 160 beds. DHS estimated that with the current trustee fund assessment of $12 per bed the reduction in revenue accruing to the trustee fund within the Comptroller of Public Accounts would be $7,680 per year.
