IN RE:
HB3149 by Torres (Relating to the adoption of the Six Sigma method by state agencies for the purpose of estimates and reports), As Introduced
The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
The bill would require each institution, department, agency, officer, employee, or agent of the state to submit any estimate or report relating to appropriations requested by the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) or under the Board's direction using the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It is assumed that this requirement would apply to the consistency and accuracy of the information submitted to the LBB by agencies and institutions of higher education (IHEs). Implementation would require that LBB staff as well as staff at state agencies and IHEs be trained, and some staff be certified, in carrying out the methodology of the Lean Six Sigma Method. Costs associated with implementation of this bill cannot be determined at this time.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
