Honorable Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Chair, House Committee on Juvenile Justice & Family Issues
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1043 by Dutton (Relating to the provision of courses in behavioral modification by disciplinary alternative education programs and juvenile justice alternative education programs.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require all Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs (DAEPs) and Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Programs (JJAEPs) to offer course in behavioral modification. The bill would require that all teachers in DAEPs be certified under the provisions of Texas Education Code Chapter 21, Subchapter B.
Local Government Impact
To the extent that DAEPs and JJAEPs do not already offer courses in behavioral modification and to the extent that school districts must replace uncertified teachers with certified teachers, local costs could be incurred.
