Honorable Garnet Coleman, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB4140 by Coleman (Relating to issues affecting counties and certain other governmental entities and residents.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill relating to issues affecting counties and certain other governmental entities and residents, including those relating to the administration of certain mental health grant programs established by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), could be absorbed using existing resources. It is also assumed that HHSC would ensure that contracts for the community mental health grant programs would not exceed appropriated amounts. Unless HHSC is appropriated additional funding for this purpose, there may be less overall funding available by program for local grantees.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time.
