| FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | SB291 by Nelson (Relating to criminal history record information for guardianship proceedings and to lists of certain public guardians; providing a criminal penalty.), As Passed 2nd House |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Sections 697A (b) and (c) and Section 698, of the Texas Probate Code, and Section 411.1386, Government Code, requiring the Department of Aging and Disability Services to obtain criminal history information on individuals who provide or will provide guardianship services and distribution of that information to the Guardian Certification Board.
DADS indicates that the agency already performs or secures criminal background checks on individuals who provide or will provide guardianship services. Therefore, no significant fiscal impact is anticipated.
