No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Education Code to establish a process to recall members of a school board of trustees under certain circumstances. Under the provisions of the bill, a county judge may order a special election to fill board of trustee vacancies. This election would be paid by the school district.

Local Government Impact

School districts could incur administrative costs to order and conduct recall and special elections. Costs would vary depending on the number of elections held under the provisions of the bill.
