Relating to an annual report by the comptroller of public accounts on the fiscal impact to this state of persons not lawfully present.

HB 4712 requires the Texas comptroller to annually report on the fiscal impact of non-citizens without legal status on state budgets. The report, due by June 30 each year, must detail costs across four areas: healthcare (uncompensated care and Medicaid), law enforcement (incarceration and border operations), public education (bilingual programs and school expenses), and welfare programs (public benefits and fraud costs). It must include methodology explanations and federal funding offsets for education costs. The comptroller must post the report online and submit it to the governor, legislature leaders, and all legislators. This bill directly affects state budget transparency for taxpayers and informs legislative decisions on resource allocation.
