         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1356 ( Relating 
to reporting of information relating to expulsions and placements 
in alternative education programs.) this office has detemined 
the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1356-As Introduced
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

         
Some costs may be associated with increased information and 
data management; however, most of the information required under 
this bill is currently gathered and reported for state and/or 
federal reporting purposes.
         
 
          
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government 
is anticipated. Costs associated with this bill would relate 
to increased reporting requirements; however, school districts 
already have systems for "safe schools" data collection and 
reporting for both state and federal purposes, which covers 
most of the information to be collected under this bill.
