Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Chapter 42 of the Human Resources Code and require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to establish on the department's website a searchable database containing information on certain child-care facilities and residential child-facilities.
Methodology
The agency has indicated they would need $705,304 in FY2016 to pay for modifications to the Public Provider system, the CLASS system, and to the website. It is assumed any costs at the Health and Human Services Commission associated with adopting rules to implement the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
Technology
The implementation of the bill would require $705,304 in FY2016 for technology costs.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
