IN RE:
HB496 by Gervin-Hawkins ( Relating to traumatic injury response protocol and the use of bleeding control kits in public schools.), Committee Report 2nd 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 kits in public schools and to required training of school personnel could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The bill would require school districts and charter schools to purchase bleeding control kits. 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.
