In fiscal year 2014, DFPS assumes that there will be 589 additional BAPs operated by public elementary schools and 251 additional BAPs operated by private elementary schools subject to DFPS regulation. Based on historical growth patterns, it is assumed the public entities will increase by 6 BAPs per year (1 percent growth) and the private entities will increase by 9 BAPs per year (3.4 percent growth). It is assumed that DFPS would require 13 additional inspectors, 3 additional investigators, 1 additional staff in the Centralized Background Check Unit, and 4.1 new supporting staff, as well as 0.4 FTEs at the Health and Human Services Commission, all of whom would be hired at the start of fiscal year 2014. Salaries and fringe benefits associated with the 21.5 FTEs total $939,472 in fiscal year 2014 and in 2015. Consumable supplies, utilities, travel, rent and other operating expenses total $475,446 in fiscal year 2014 and $301,910 in fiscal year 2015. DFPS indicates that the majority of the employees at the BAPs would have already successfully completed a background check and no additional costs beyond the FTEs would be associated with this provision.
The bill would increase the per child amount of the annual license fee from $1 to $2, which would result in a positive impact to General Revenue of about $1.4 million per year. About $1.2 million of that would be for the current population of children in these programs for which DFPS collects a fee. It is assumed this population will growth at 1.3%. The remainder would be collected from the newly-licensed BAPs.
