John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB4017 by Weber (Relating to the establishment of a self-determination pilot program by the Department of Aging and Disability Services.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) to establish a pilot program to deliver department services currently provided to an individual with a disability through a Section 1915(c) waiver program, as defined by Section 531.001, Government Code, through a self-determination model under which the individual exercises control over the development and implementation of the individual's service plan and over the persons delivering the services directly to the individual.
It is assumed any cost to implement provisions of the bill would be minimal and can be absorbed within available resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
