IN RE:
HB1227 by Dukes (Relating to the use of an Internet application to allow access by court-appointed volunteer advocates to child protective services case information.), As Engrossed
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to develop an internet application allowing court-appointed volunteer advocates to access and update case files in DFPS's automated case tracking and information management system. Although DFPS estimates a cost to implement the provisions of the bill, the bill specifically prohibits DFPS from using money other than gifts, grants, or donations and as such no fiscal impact to the state is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
