FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 8, 2013

TO:	Honorable Jane Nelson, Chair, Senate Committee on Health & Human Services
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1018 by Patrick, Diane (Relating to the establishment of community partnerships and the development of policy recommendations for increasing physical activity and improving fitness among public school students.), As Engrossed

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the district school health advisory council (SHAC) to establish a subcommittee to consider issues related to student physical activity and fitness and make recommendations to improve student physical activity and fitness. The SHAC would be required to submit these recommendations to the board of trustees as a part of their annual written report.

The bill would require SHACs to recommend joint use agreements or strategies for collaboration between the school district and community organizations, if feasible. Any joint use agreements between a school district and a community organization would be required to address liability issues.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. There would be some administrative costs for school districts to add to the annual SHAC report and to enter into joint use agreements with community organizations.
