         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1825 ( Relating 
to the State Board for Educator Certification.) this office 
has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1825-Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
         
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 move the requirement to suspend 
the school district teaching permit of a person who violates 
Chapter 617 of the Government Code from the State Board of Educator 
Certification (SBEC) to the commissioner of education.  The 
requirement to suspend the certificate of an educator would 
move to SBEC from the commissioner.  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.
