IN RE:
HB1387 by Hefner (Relating to the number of school marshals that may be appointed to serve on a public school campus or at a private school.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to the number of school marshals that may be appointed to serve on a public school campus or at a private school could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
Under the bill, school districts or open-enrollment charter schools could retain additional licensed individuals to act as a school marshal. Costs of fees for training and salary are not anticipated to be significant, and it is assumed that a school would only choose to hire a school marshal if sufficient funds were available.
