FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 18, 2013

TO:
Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee On Public Education
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1156 by Bonnen, Dennis (Relating to eliminating the requirement that a school district assess the physical fitness of students.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would repeal the requirement that school districts conduct physical fitness assessments for students. Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the bill would result in some annual savings because TEA would no longer be required to collect and report physical fitness assessment information. Savings are not anticipated to be significant.


Local Government Impact

School districts would experience some administrative cost savings from no longer having to perform physical fitness assessments and report assessment results to the TEA. These cost savings would vary depending on the size of the district and the number of students assessed for physical fitness.
