HBA-JLV H.B. 2763 77(R)BILL ANALYSIS Office of House Bill AnalysisH.B. 2763 By: Solis, Jim Economic Development 7/17/2001 Enrolled BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prior to the 77th Legislature, many local workforce development boards did not define after school services that take place on a school campus or at a Head Start Center as child care. Consequently, these programs could neither apply for nor utilize local funds spent on these programs as matching funds for the purposes of receiving federal child care funds. The result may have been the under-utilization of federal child care funds. House Bill 2763 requires the local workforce development board to use money and services provided by a local school district or local education agency for purposes of obtaining federal matching funds for child care services. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution. ANALYSIS House Bill 2763 amends the Government Code to require a local workforce development board to use money and in-kind services provided by a local school district or local education agency for purposes of obtaining federal matching funds for child care services, including after-school care provided at a school or a federal Head Start program. EFFECTIVE DATE June 13, 2001.
