Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, Senate Committee on Education
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB384 by Burton (Relating to the scheduling of the administration of certain postsecondary readiness assessment instruments to public high school students.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Education Code to require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to make all reasonable efforts to ensure the administration of an assessment instrument does not conflict with the administration of a nationally recognized assessment that can be used to award college course credit. The bill would take effect immediately if passed with necessary voting margins, or September 1, 2017.
TEA indicates the agency can implement the provisions of the bill within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
