Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3842 by Hinojosa, Gina (Relating to transferring the Office for the Prevention of Developmental Disabilities to The University of Texas at Austin.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Government Code, Human Resources Code and Education Code to transfer the Texas Office for the Prevention of Developmental Disabilities (TOPDD) to The University of Texas at Austin. TOPDD is currently supported by an appropriation to the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and through grants and donations. The bill would take effect August 31, 2017.
Based on LBB's analysis of HHSC and The University of Texas at Austin, duties and responsibilities associated with transferring TOPDD to The University of Texas at Austin, could be accomplished utilizing existing resources. This analysis assumes that any funding provided to the TOPDD would also transfer and, therefore, any associated increased costs at The University of Texas at Austin, would be offset by a reduction at HHSC.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
