Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, Senate Committee on Education

Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB436 by Rodríguez (Relating to the operation of the special education continuing advisory committee.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Education Code to require special education continuing advisory committee (CAC) meetings to be conducted in compliance with Chapter 551, Government Code. The bill would specify the CAC to have certain procedures and would require the CAC to submit a report to the Legislature with recommended changes to laws and rules related to special education by January 1 of each odd-numbered year.
The Texas Education Agency would experience some administrative costs related to supporting the CAC in developing the legislative report; however, this analysis assumes the agency could absorb the cost within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
