IN RE:
HB2789 by Raymond (Relating to trauma-informed care training for certain employees of state supported living centers and intermediate care facilities.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Human Resources Code to require the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) to provide trauma-informed care training for employees who work with individuals with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD) in state supported living centers and intermediate care facilities. The bill would also require the Health and Human Services (HHSC) executive commissioner to adopt rules requiring new employees to complete the training before working with individuals with IDD.

DADS and HHSC indicate that provisions of the bill could be implemented within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
