TO:	Honorable Rob Eissler, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1705 by Martinez Fischer (Relating to providing a parent of a public school student with notice of student performance in the parent's native language.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

School districts would be required to provide written notices of student performance in the parent’s or guardian’s native language if the student is of limited English proficiency or receiving special education services. Costs would vary by school district depending upon the number of native languages spoken in their district and the rarity of the native languages.
