IN RE:
HB1182 by Goodwin (Relating to personal financial literacy courses for high school students in public schools.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to personal financial literacy courses for high school students could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The bill would require school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to provide a course in personal financial literacy. By adding a required personal financial literacy course, some school districts and open-enrollment charter schools could see increased costs related to training or hiring teachers to provide instruction in the course to an increased number of students.
