IN RE: | HB741 by Walle (Relating to the right of a public employee to express breast milk in the workplace.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
According to the Texas Association of Counties (TAC), many counties have already implemented measures consistent with the provisions of the bill. Dallas County, for example, reported no anticipated fiscal impact for this reason. However, TAC reported that the impact to counties which do not currently have policies for nursing mothers may see a significant fiscal impact from the bill.
Bexar County reported that it would need to adopt new policies to comply with the bill, and estimated one-time total costs at $448,000. This would not represent a significant cost to Bexar County.
The Texas Municipal League (TML) reported that costs to municipalities, if any, would not be significant.
