TO:
Honorable Jane Nelson, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
 
FROM:
John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB434 by Parker (Relating to the minimum standards for licensed child-care facilities and registered family homes.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to amend the requirements in Chapter 42, Human Resources Code, relating to the minimum standards for registered family homes and child-care facilities.  The new standards would ensure that these operations follow the directions of a child's health care provider when providing specialized medical assistance required by the child and maintain the directions for a reasonable period of time. DFPS indicates that the costs associated with implementing the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
