There will be no increase in cost or savings to the state budget because these proposed changes do not increase workload that would require additional staff or other costs.

local governments:

Local governments have no responsibility for services offered by Child and Family Services and are therefore not affected by this rule; thus, it will have no fiscal impact.

small businesses:

Small businesses have no responsibility for services offered by Child and Family Services and are therefore not affected by this rule; thus, it will have no fiscal impact.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

There is no expected fiscal impact for "persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities" because funding requests for services offered by Child and Family Services come out of already-existing budgets.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Child and Family Services determined that there will be no compliance costs for affected persons because there are no specific costs involved with the changes being made to this rule.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
