FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 26, 2007

TO:	Honorable Tom Craddick, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HR2868 by Eissler (Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, S.B. No. 1031 (Shapiro/Eissler).)

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

The bill would require a school district to offer courses or tutoring to students who fail to achieve standards as established by the bill, which could entail additional costs for districts. Additionally, tracking student progress toward graduation will be a more involved process for school districts. The bill may have other fiscal impact in terms of possible additional remediation due to increased number of graduation exams and the potential impact on elective course offerings; these potential costs cannot be estimated and would vary from district to district.
