IN RE:
HB965 by González, Mary (Relating to updating references to certain former health services state agencies and certain terms used to describe persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities in the Education Code.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill amends several sections of code to update references to certain former health and human services state agencies. The bill requires the Health and Human Services Commission and the Department of Family and Protective Services to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Juvenile Justice Department concerning certain educational services. The bill allows the University of Texas System to contract with the Department of State Health Services for continued extramural and other laboratory consultative services. The bill takes effect September 1, 2019.

It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to updating references to certain former health services state agencies and certain terms used to describe persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities in the Education Code could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

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