TO:	Honorable Kent Grusendorf, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB230 by Nixon (Relating to participation in University Interscholastic League activities.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

This bill would prohibit the University Interscholastic League (UIL) from denying a child that is eligible to attend public school in Texas the opportunity to participate in UIL activities on the grounds that the child does not attend public school. The bill would further prohibit the UIL from denying a school the opportunity to participate in UIL activities because it is a private school. The bill would require that UIL rules be designed to allow all children and schools in the state to participate in UIL activities in the same manner. Private school would be defined as codified in Texas Education Code, Section 22.081.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
