| IN RE: | HB3190 by Giddings (Relating to school bus safety; creating an offense.), As Passed 2nd House |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
To the extent that school districts may currently have vehicles meeting the new definition of a multifunction school activity bus that are painted National School Bus Glossy Yellow, costs to repaint such vehicles may be incurred.
School districts that do not currently provide school bus emergency evacuation training to teachers and students could incur additional workload-related costs. For school districts that do not provide transportation services, costs could be incurred to lease buses for the purpose of providing the required training twice each year. It is assumed that the reporting requirement would only require the submission of a single document per district twice each year. Based on this assumption, there would be no significant additional cost associated with submitting the required certification records.
