Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3999 by Naishtat (Relating to the exemption of certain persons from licensure as a professional counselor or social worker.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code as it relates to certain exemptions from licensure as a professional counselor or social worker. The Department of State Health Services indicates that any increase in workload associated with updating public information related to licensure exemptions can be accomplished within existing resources. This analysis assumes there would not be a significant increase in the number of persons seeking licensure as a professional counselor or social worker.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
