TO:	Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, Senate Committee on Education
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB2050 by Menéndez (relating to bullying and cyberbullying in public schools.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to bullying and cyberbullying in public schools could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

Local education agencies (LEAs) may see increased costs related to updating their student codes of conduct and other related policies and procedures. To a lesser degree, LEAs may see some increased costs related to collecting data on bullying and cyberbullying incidents.
