LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD

Austin, Texas

FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 4, 2021

TO:	Honorable Lois W. Kolkhorst, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB910 by Schwertner (Relating to implementation options for the provision of community-based family preservation services and certain other health and human services by certain state agencies or contractors and to the repeal of a prior pilot program for family-based safety services.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Family Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to develop a comprehensive list of options on how to implement coordinated Community-based Care prevention services and provide a report on the options to the legislature. The bill would also repeal section 264.169 of Family Code which would no longer require DFPS to contract for a Family Based Safety Services (FBSS) pilot program and section 40.0581(f) of Human Resources Code which would no longer require performance measures for the FBSS pilot program. These sections would expire August 31, 2023.

The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in each chamber, otherwise the bill would take effect September 1, 2021.

This analysis assumes there would be a minimal cost associated with implementing the provisions of the bill that could be absorbed within existing resources. 

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
