John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1373 by Guillen (Relating to creating the Chronic Kidney Disease Task Force.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would establish the Chronic Kidney Disease Task Force. The Department of State Health Services (DSHS) would provide administrative support to the task force. It is assumed any administrative costs would be absorbed within the existing budget of DSHS. The bill would entitle members of the task force to reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses. Reimbursement for any expenses would not be permissible without specific authorization in the General Appropriations Act. The bill would authorize the task force to accept gifts and grants or federal and local funds and would require DSHS to investigate potential federal funding. It is assumed revenue from these sources would not be significant.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
