FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
May 17, 2015
TO: Honorable Charles Schwertner, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE: HB416 by Riddle (Relating to requiring personnel of abortion facilities and certain other
facilities performing abortions to complete training on human trafficking.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Chapter 171 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to requiring personnel
of abortion facilities and certain other facilities performing abortions to complete training on
human trafficking. The bill would require that not later than December 1, 2015, the executive
commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) adopt rules to
require certain employees, contractors, or volunteers at an abortion facility or ambulatory surgical
center that performs more than 50 abortions in any 12-month period to complete training on
human trafficking. The bill would require that the training program use the standardized
curriculum created by the human trafficking prevention task force, which is supported by the
Office of the Attorney General (OAG). Additionally, the bill would require the Department of
State Health Services (DSHS) to make the training program available to each facility. Personnel
who begin working or volunteering at a facility prior to September 1, 2015 would have until
September 1, 2016 to comply with the provisions of the bill. The bill would take effect
immediately if a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the Legislature is received. Otherwise,
the bill would take effect September 1, 2015.
Based on the analysis provided by HHSC, DSHS, and OAG, it is assumed that the provisions of the
bill can be implemented within existing resources.
