TO: | Honorable John T. Smithee, Chair, House Committee on Insurance |
FROM: | John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB1253 by Smithee (Relating to certain modifications of a health benefit plan.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Insurance Code relating to certain modifications of a health benefit plan. Based on the analysis provided by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), it is assumed that any costs associated with the implementation of this bill would be absorbed within existing agency resources. Also based on information provided by TDI, this analysis assumes that implementation of the bill could result in a one-time revenue gain ($12,000 in fiscal year 2012) in General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Department of Insurance Fund 36 from filing fees. Since General Revenue-Dedicated Texas Department of Insurance Fund 36 is a self-leveling account, this analysis also assumes that any additional revenue resulting from the implementation of the bill would accumulate in the account fund balances and that the department would adjust the assessment of the maintenance tax or other fees accordingly in the following year.
