The following estimate accounts for projected increases in administrative expenditures; it does not address the potential for increased expenditures in client services.
HHSC estimates a need for 2.0 FTEs in fiscal year 2008, 3.0 FTEs in fiscal year 2009 and subsequent costs. HHSC estimates a total cost for FTEs, system changes, and transcripts of $0.2 million All Funds (including $0.1 million General Revenue Funds) in fiscal year 2008 and $0.3 million All Funds (including $0.1 million General Revenue Funds) in fiscal year 2009 and beyond.
There would also be an impact to attorney workload at the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) as it is assumed that office would be responsible for representing state agencies in those cases that advance to judicial review. OAG estimates a need for 1.5 FTEs in fiscal year 2008, 3.0 FTEs in fiscal year 2009, and 4.0 FTEs in fiscal year 2010 and beyond at a cost of $0.1 million General Revenue Funds in fiscal year 2008, $0.3 million General Revenue Funds in fiscal year 2009, and $0.4 million General Revenue Funds in fiscal year 2010 and subsequent years.
The total estimated cost of the bill is $0.3 million All Funds (including $0.2 million General Revenue Funds) in fiscal year 2008, $0.5 million All Funds (including $0.4 million General Revenue Funds) in fiscal year 2009, and $0.6 million All Funds (including $0.5 million General Revenue Funds) in fiscal year 2010 and beyond.
