IN RE:
HB2604 by Farrar (Relating to a strategic plan to address postpartum depression.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Health and Safety Code Chapter 32 by adding Section 32.046 to require the Health and Human Services Commission to develop and implement a five-year strategic plan to improve access to postpartum depression services. The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote in each house. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Based on LBB's analysis of the Health and Human Services Commission, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time
