FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 24, 2021

TO:
Honorable Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Chair, House Committee on Public Education
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB4023 by Martinez (Relating to establishing a pilot program to employ a life skills counselor at public high school campuses in certain counties.), 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 establishing a pilot program to employ a life skills counselor at public high school campuses in certain counties could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

This bill would require certain districts to employ a life skills counselor but does not appropriate funding for these positions. Districts would be permitted to solicit and accept a gift, grant, or donation from any source. However, if a district is not able to obtain a gift, grant, or donation, the district would be required to pay for the positions with existing funds.
