IN RE:
HB4309 by Zerwas (Relating to the transfer of certain functions relating to state employee leave from the state auditor to the comptroller.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 661 of the Government Code to transfer certain functions relating to state employee leave from the State Auditor's Office (SAO) to the Comptroller of Public Accounts. The bill would require the Comptroller to provide a uniform interpretation of Chapter 661, regarding state employee leave, and would transfer functions of the SAO to the Comptroller under Subchapter F, pertaining to vacation leave, Subchapter G, pertaining to sick leave, and Subchapter Z, pertaining to miscellaneous leave provisions. The powers and duties would be transferred between agencies on September 10, 2019. The bill would require the SAO and Comptroller to enter into a memorandum of understanding relating to the transfer of powers and duties, not later than September 10, 2019.
Based on the analysis of the SAO and Comptroller, any savings or costs associated with the transfer of functions would be minimal and no significant fiscal impact is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
