| IN RE: | SB270 by Harris (Relating to the reporting of income-producing contracts or programs entered into or operated by school districts.), As Introduced |
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
The bill would require school districts to prepare and publish reports of certain income-producing contracts and programs on a semiannual basis. There is no state-level data by which to determine the number of school districts that currently have the types of income-producing contracts and programs subject to the proposed reporting requirement. Affected school districts would experience some additional administrative workload in creating, updating, and maintaining the reports. It is assumed that affected districts would seek to minimize publication costs by opting to post the report to the district's website in lieu of newspaper publication as authorized under the bill. Publication costs for the relatively few school districts that do not currently maintain a website would be anticipated to average about $160 per year.
