TO:
Honorable James B. Frank, Chair, House Committee on Human Services
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB149 by Reynolds (Relating to a study to evaluate state and local regulation of group homes.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to conduct a study on state and local regulation of group homes. HHSC would identify and evaluate state laws, analyze procedures and complaints, enforcement authority, whether new categories of group homes should be licensed or regulated, and make recommendations related to state and local regulation of group homes.

It is assumed any cost to implement provisions of the bill would be minimal and can be absorbed within available resources.

Local Government Impact

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