IN RE:
SB260 by West (Relating to minimum training standards for employees of certain child-care facilities.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend minimum training standards for employees and directors of certain child care facilities under Chapter 42, Human Resources Code, by increasing the number of training hours provided and requiring facility orientation for new employees. The bill would prohibit the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) from requiring more training hours than set forth by the bill. DFPS indicates that costs associated with updating minimum standards in compliance with the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
