IN RE:
HB3908 by Wilson (Relating to fentanyl abuse prevention and drug poisoning awareness education in public schools.), As Passed 2nd House
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
According to the Texas Education Agency, school districts and open-enrollment charter schools would incur costs from the requirement of providing research-based instruction for students in grades 6 through 12. There would likely also be costs to schools to implement evidence-based substance abuse programs, including professional development training for teachers and the purchase of instructional materials and resources.
