FISCAL NOTE
75th Regular Session
April 14, 1997
TO: Honorable Teel Bivins, Chair IN RE: Senate Bill No. 1379
Committee on Education By: Ellis
Senate
Austin, Texas
FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1379 ( Relating
to adult education programs.) this office has detemined the
following:
Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1379-As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This bill would implement the Texas Performance Review recommendation
WF3 in Disturbing the Peace: The Challenge of Change in Texas
Government. These activities would not require additional staff
or resources from either the Texas Education Agency (TEA) or
the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). TEA already receives
funds for developing the management information system to measure
student data. Work on the individual assessment instrument
has been ongoing since 1994, and funding for the continued development
should come from existing discretionary and workforce program
evaluation funds at TWC, TEA, and the Texas Council on Workforce
and Economic Competitiveness.
No new funding would be required
to accomplish these changes. The assessment and evaluation
of programs and individuals should already be an integral part
of the adult education program. Transfer of the program would
not result in any savings nor in any additional costs.
No
fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
