BILL ANALYSIS

 

 

 

H.B. 3404

By: Naishtat

Human Services

Committee Report (Unamended)

 

 

 

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

 

Interested parties observe that, until it ceased to exist several years ago, the child care advisory committee advised the General Services Commission with regard to the location, size, and design of the child care facilities that provide child care services for state employees who work in state-owned buildings or the Capitol Complex. 

 

H.B. 3404 seeks to address this issue by re-establishing the child care advisory committee to advise the Texas Facilities Commission on the location, size, and design of the child care facilities and the curriculum required to be provided by the facility and provides for the continuation of the committee until September 1, 2021.

 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

 

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.

 

ANALYSIS

 

H.B. 3404 reenacts and amends Section 663.051, Government Code, to establish that  provisions of law relating to the child care advisory committee, created to advise the Texas Facilities Commission on matters relating to child care services for state employees, expire and the committee is abolished on September 1, 2021. The bill removes a representative of the corporate child development fund from the list of persons the Texas Facilities Commission is authorized to appoint to the committee.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE

 

September 1, 2011.
