FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 10, 2007

TO:	Honorable Patrick M. Rose, Chair, House Committee on Human Services
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2253 by Alonzo (Relating to a personal identification device provided to residents of certain institutions and assisted living facilities.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The Department of Aging and Disability Services anticipates any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.
 
However, any costs incurred by providers pursuant to implementation of the provisions of the bill would be Medicaid eligible expenditure and as such could be a basis for a request for a rate increase.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
