Secretary FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE RULES RULE TITLE: LA 4 Public Pre-Kindergarten Program I. ESTIMATED IMPLEMENTATION COSTS (SAVINGS) TO STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS (Summary) This rule will allow the Department of Social Services (DSS) to adopt the LA 4 Public Pre-Kindergarten Program as a new Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Initiative. The LA 4 Public Pre-Kindergarten Program is an existing program administered and funded by the Department of Education (DOE) but will now receive TANF funding from DSS to provide services to approximately 5,793 at risk four-year olds statewide. DSS will enter into a contract with the Department of Education to provide services for the program. The program proposes to provide access to universal high quality, developmentally appropriate pre-kindergarten classes, before and after school enrichment activities, and summer programs to at risk four-year-old children who are eligible to enter public school kindergarten the following year. The total cost appropriated to DOE for the LA 4 Program in FY 09/10 is $83 million of which $28,050,000 is 100% TANF funding. The TANF funding replaced State General Fund in DOE and therefore does not represent an increase in expenditures to the program. The only other cost associated with this TANF initiative is $1,000 (SGF) for the cost of publishing the rule. The total cost to the TANF program for the LA 4 initiative is $28,051,000 in FY 09/10 and $28,050,000 in FY 10-11 and FY 11-12. Funding in subsequent fiscal years is contingent on legislative appropriation. II. ESTIMATED EFFECT ON REVENUE COLLECTIONS OF STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL UNITS (Summary) Implementation of this rule will have no effect on state or local revenue collections because the agency will not receive additional federal funding to implement this TANF initiative. III. ESTIMATED COSTS AND/OR ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO DIRECTLY AFFECTED PERSONS OR NONGOVERNMENTAL GROUPS (Summary) This rule has no estimated costs or economic benefits to directly affected persons or non-governmental groups. This rule merely changes the source of funds for the program. IV. ESTIMATED EFFECT ON COMPETITION AND EMPLOYMENT (Summary) This rule has no impact on competition and employment.
