IN RE:
HB496 by Gervin-Hawkins (Relating to the placement of bleeding control stations in public schools and to required training of public school personnel and students.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to the placement of bleeding control stations in public schools and to required training of public school personnel and students could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The bill would require school districts and charter schools to purchase certain equipment for bleeding control stations and to train certain students and staff on the use of the stations. Based on information provided by Texas State University System, this analysis assumes each station would cost approximately $500. Assuming a minimum of one station per campus results in an estimated statewide cost to districts and charters of $4.3 million in fiscal year 2020, in addition to any costs associated with implementing the required training.
