FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 30, 2005

TO:	Honorable Kent Grusendorf, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB623 by Olivo (Relating to the right of a parent of a public school student to immediate notice of certain disciplinary action taken against the student.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require a school district to provide a parent immediate notice if their child has been removed from class for placement in a disciplinary alternative education program or juvenile justice alternative education program.

Local Government Impact

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

Anecdotal information suggests that the vast majority of districts provide timely notice to parents.
