IN RE:
HB3026 by Talarico (Relating to the assignment of certain behavioral health professionals to a public school campus.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
The bill would amend the Education Code to require school districts to maintain certain ratios of behavioral health professionals to students. The bill would further require behavioral health professionals to provide certain counseling and receive certain training. The Texas Education Agency assumes school districts would incur staffing costs to comply with the bill's requirements. This analysis assumes costs would vary by district based on current ratios of behavioral health professionals to students.
