IN RE:
HB4107 by Wu (Relating to establishing a restorative justice program for certain student conduct constituting a criminal offense that occurs on school property, on school transportation, or at school-sponsored or school-related activities.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to establishing a restorative justice program for certain student conduct constituting a criminal offense that occurs on school property, on school transportation, or at school-sponsored or school-related activities could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), local education agencies could see increased costs related to the creation and implementation of restorative justice programs, including costs related to staff development and training. TEA provides training to local education agencies related to restorative justice, which could offset some of these costs.
