IN RE:
SB2095 by Hall (Relating to regulation of steroid use by students participating in athletic competitions sponsored or sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Education Code as it relates to the eligibility of a student who has been prescribed steroids by a medical practitioner to participate in a University Interscholastic League (UIL) competition. The bill would authorize UIL to declare such a student ineligible for competition if UIL determined that the safety or fairness of an event would be affected. UIL would be required to conduct a hearing on such a determination in a closed session.
According to the Texas Education Agency and the University of Texas System, duties and responsibilities associated with the legislation could be accomplished using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
