IN RE:
HB496 by Gervin-Hawkins (Relating to traumatic injury response protocol and the use of bleeding control kits in public schools.), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to traumatic injury response protocol and the use of bleeding control kits in public schools could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The bill would require school districts and charter schools to purchase bleeding control kits and to train students on the use of the stations. This analysis assumes each kit would cost $60. Assuming two kits per campus, this analysis estimates a statewide cost to districts and charters of $1.0 million in fiscal year 2020, in addition to any costs associated with implementing the required training.
