March 15, 2021
TO:
Honorable Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB129 by González, Mary (Relating to requiring a digital citizenship curriculum.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to requiring a digital citizenship curriculum could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
School districts and charter schools would likely have costs to implement the bill's provisions relating to a new required course and graduation requirement, including curriculum development, instructional materials, training, and the hiring of new teachers.
