FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 4, 2017

TO:
Honorable Dan Huberty, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1847 by Coleman (Relating to a notification requirement if a public school, including an open-enrollment charter school, does not have a nurse, school counselor, or librarian assigned to the school during all instructional hours.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require the principal of a school or charter school to give written notice to parents if the school does not have a full-time nurse, school counselor, or librarian for more than 30 consecutive instructional days during the same school year.

Local Government Impact

School districts and open-enrollment charter schools may incur some costs related to providing the required notice and translating the notice into the appropriate language for parents whose primary language is not English. However, these costs are not expected to be significant since the bill allows for the notice to be posted on the district's or charter's internet website.
