FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 29, 2013

TO:	Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1853 by Ratliff (Relating to a behavior improvement plan or a behavior intervention plan adopted for certain students with an individualized education program.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would to allow an admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee to determine if a behavior improvement plan or a behavior intervention plan is appropriate for a student with an individualized education program (IEP). If the ARD committee determined it was appropriate, the behavior improvement plan or behavior intervention plan would be incorporated into the student's IEP and provided to each of the student's teachers.

Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency (TEA), required revisions to the model IEP could be accomplished with existing agency resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
