Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) Page: 1 of 4

Item Priority and Name/ Method of Financing 2010 2011 Biennial Total Target
1 Central Administration
Item Comment: IMPACT
The proposed reduction will curtail reimbursements for Advisory Board members traveling to meetings. The agency does not believe that this will adversely impact
its most critical mission of providing licenses to Texas workers and businesses. However, the agency's new program implementation and rule making processes will
be negatively impacted.
JUSTIFICATION
In response to the request for a proposed five percent budget reduction, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) preserves its most critical
function - providing licenses to Texans whose jobs require that they hold them. The agency's proposed reduction will not interrupt the work of existing licensees
and businesses and will not hinder the opening of new businesses that rely on licenses issued by TDLR. By using this as our guiding principle for proposed
reductions, employment in the state should not be adversely impacted.

Item Comment: IMPACT
The proposed reduction will freeze current vacant contact center positions. The agency does not believe that this will adversely impact its most critical mission of
providing licenses to Texas workers and businesses. These proposed reductions will result in increased wait times in responding to questions from licensees and the
public via the phone and email.
