FISCAL NOTE, 78TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 23, 2003

TO:	Honorable Kent Grusendorf, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1698 by Madden (Relating to public school employee participation in professional organizations and assignment, transfer, or pledge of compensation.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill modifies language related to salary reductions for professional dues.  The bill also prohibits districts from considering participation in a professional organization when appraising the performance of a teacher or administrator. 

 

The bill repeals Section 22.002 in its entirety, which would effectively prohibit school districts from deducting professional dues from the salaries of any employees.  The bill also makes a conforming amendment to the Labor Code.

Local Government Impact

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