IN RE:
SB1553 by Menéndez (Relating to the refusal of entry to or ejection from school district property.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Education Code to establish a panel appointed by the Commissioner of Education to identify best practices related to the refusal of entry to or ejection from school district property. The bill would require the panel to submit a report not later than August 1, 2018, with findings and recommendations, and would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to make the report available to school districts and charter schools.
The bill would take effect immediately if passed within the necessary voting margins, or September 1, 2017.
TEA indicates any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed within the agency's existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
