LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 77th Regular Session January 30, 2001 TO: Honorable Teel Bivins, Chair, Senate Committee on Education FROM: John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE: SB350 by Truan (Relating to wage rates paid by or on behalf of certain school districts on public works projects.), As Introduced ************************************************************************** * No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. * ************************************************************************** Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. The bill authorizes, but would not require, school districts located primarily in a county within 50 miles of an international border to require that contractors and subcontractors building public works for said districts pay their employees a "living wage." Only those districts choosing to do so might experience greater construction costs as a result. Source Agencies: 701 Texas Education Agency LBB Staff: JK, CT, PF, JM
