FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2673 by Hull (Relating to requirements for the use and transfer of electronic devices to students by a public school.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
Districts must adopt rules to establish programs that promote parents as partners in cybersecurity and online safety that involve parents in students' use of transferred equipment or electronic devices. Additionally, they must, for the transfer of an electronic device for educational purposes, install an Internet filter that blocks pornographic or obscene material. There may be costs to districts to install the required Internet filter on devices they transfer to students.
