IN RE:
SB1677 by Lucio (Relating to information about services for women veterans provided through certain state agency and hospital applications.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require state agencies and hospitals to include language on applications for assistance, services, or programs notifying female veterans of possible additional resources for help and to share applicant information with the Texas Veterans Commission for the purposes of informing applicant of additional resources available.

The Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs estimate there would be a minimal cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill however both agencies can absorb these costs within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
