DSHS currently charges DFPS $13.50 to issue a birth certificate and $0.33 per birth verification. In fiscal year 2008 DFPS requested 5,000 birth certificates and 20,000 birth verifications for children in the managing conservatorship of DFPS that had parental rights terminated and were eligible for adoption. DSHS assumes that DFPS will make the same number of requests in fiscal year 2010 and beyond. No longer charging DFPS for these requests will result in an estimated loss of revenue to DSHS of $74,100 from the Vital Statistics Account and a savings to DFPS of $56,070 in General Revenue and $18,030 in Federal Funds in each fiscal year.
DSHS estimates that raising the amendment fee by $7.42 in fiscal year 2010 and by $7.84 in fiscal
year 2011 would cover any cost associated with processing the amendments. It is estimated DSHS will receive 15,615 requests for amendments each fiscal year. DSHS estimates a revenue gain of
approximately $115,865 in fiscal year 2010 and $122,423 in fiscal year 2011 and beyond.
It is assumed that 1.5 full-time equivalents (FTEs) would be needed in fiscal year 2010 and 2.0 FTEs
would be needed in fiscal year 2011 and beyond to process the notifications. The cost associated with
hiring the FTEs is estimated to be $78,685 in fiscal year 2010 and approximately $98,297 in fiscal
year 2011 and beyond; these costs include salary, benefits, and other associated expenditures. It is
assumed that the revenue gain to the Vital Statistics Account would be expended to cover the costs.
