FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 25, 2013

TO:	Honorable Lois W. Kolkhorst, Chair, House Committee on Public Health
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1018 by Patrick, Diane (Relating to development of goals and policy recommendations for increasing physical activity and improving fitness among public school students.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require that campus improvement plans include goals to increase physical activity and improve physical fitness of their students. 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 has no direct fiscal implications for the Foundation School Program (FSP) or the operations of the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. There would be some administrative costs to add new goals to the campus improvement plan and to add to the annual SHAC report. These administrative costs are not anticipated to be significant.
