IN RE:
SB686 by Alvarado ( relating to courses in personal financial literacy & economics for high school students in public schools.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to courses in personal financial literacy and economics for high school students in public schools could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

School districts that opt to offer the new course provided under the bill would likely incur costs relating to instructional materials and teacher training. These costs would vary by district, and participation is voluntary.
