         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1825 ( Relating 
to the State Board for Educator Certification and to certain 
professional employees of public schools.) this office has detemined 
the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1825-As Engrossed
         
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
No significant fiscal implications to units of local government 
is anticipated.

The bill  would require a district to issue 
a school district teaching permit to all educators not holding 
a certificate.

The bill would require the suspension of the 
school district teaching permit of a person who commits an offense 
specified in Section 21.0521 of the Education Code.  The requirement 
to suspend the certificate of an educator would move to the 
State Board of Educator Certification.  The cost of such a case 
is estimated to be between $15,000 and $30,000.

The fiscal 
implications described above would be likely to continue beyond 
2002.
