Honorable Tom Craddick, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2072 by Grusendorf (Relating to payment by teachers for missing textbooks in public schools.), As Passed 2nd House
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The provision prohibiting school districts from charging employees for lost textbooks or instructional technology has no direct impact on textbook or other costs borne by the state.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. To the extent that districts currently charge employees for stolen, misplaced or unreturned textbooks or instructional technology, they may incur small costs as a result of the bill. These costs are not expected to be significant.
