FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB993 by Deuell (Relating to the creation of the Texas Nonprofit Council to assist with faith-based and community-based initiatives. ), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code as it relates to the creation of the Texas Nonprofit Council to assist with faith- and community-based initiatives.

Not later than October 1, 2013, and by October 1 every three years thereafter, the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission is required to appoint members to the Texas Nonprofit Council. The Texas Nonprofit Council would be subject to the Texas Sunset Act.

The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect August 31, 2013.

HHSC and the Sunset Advisory Commission indicate any additional work resulting from the passage of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within current resources.
