John McGeady, Assistant Director Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3193 by Hinojosa (Relating to the licensing and regulation of a home and community support services agency.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would change the home and community support services agency licensure period from two to three years. According to the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), this would require the agency to make modifications to the Texas Unified Licensure Information Portal. LBB analysis indicates that these activities could be completed with existing resources.
The Comptroller of Public Accounts indicates that the impact of the bill on revenue cannot be determined. HHSC is required to set license fees for home and community support services agencies that are reasonable to meet administrative costs. Changing the frequency of licensing fees could reduce revenue, but HHSC could increase initial fees to cover these administrative costs.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
