Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2131 by Davis, Sarah (Relating to the designation of centers of excellence for fetal care and healthy outcomes in this state.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 241, Health and Safety Code to require the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to designate licensed hospitals meeting certain criteria as centers of excellence for fetal care and healthy outcomes. The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to adopt rules establishing the criteria. Based on the LBB's analysis of HHSC and DSHS, duties and responsibilities associated with the implementation of the bill could be reasonably absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
