Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1548 by Menéndez (Relating to post-discharge services offered by a juvenile board or juvenile probation department to a child after the child's probation period ends.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Human Resources Code to define post-discharge services, specify a maximum amount of time that a child may participate, and that the juvenile board or juvenile probation department may not require a child's participation in the services. Based on the analysis of the Office of Court Administration, Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor, and the Juvenile Justice Department, duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
