FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 8, 2013

TO:	Honorable Dan Patrick, Chair, Senate Committee on Education
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB914 by Lucio (Relating to a behavior improvement plan adopted for certain students with an individualized education program.), As Introduced

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 is appropriate for a student with an individualized education program (IEP). If the ARD committee determined it was appropriate, the behavior improvement 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.
