IN RE:
HB817 by Dukes (Relating to the ability of an emergency shelter facility to provide shelter or care for an unaccompanied minor without a license.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would modify Human Reources Code 42.041(b) to allow emergency shelters to serve unaccompanied minors and to do so without being licensed by the Department of Family and Protective Services. It is assumed any cost to implement provisions of the bill would be minimal and can be absorbed within available resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
