IN RE:
HB35 by Menendez (Relating to extending a local behavioral health intervention pilot project.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill seeks a two year continuation of the BexarCares pilot project in Bexar County, enacted under House Bill 1232 by the 81st Texas Legislature. BexarCares established a local behavioral health intervention project for children in Bexar County and was funded in part by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). It is assumed any funds needed to continue the pilot project for the next two years can be absorbed within existing DSHS resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
