FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
April 10, 2021

TO:
Honorable Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Chair, House Committee on Public Education
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2193 by Dominguez (Relating to the creation of an adaptive sports program by the University Interscholastic League to provide students with disabilities access to team sports.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require that the University Interscholastic League ensure that students with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in team athletic activities.
 
Based on information provided by The University of Texas at Austin, any costs associated with implementing provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.

Local Government Impact

To the extent that the bill and associated agency rules require school districts to offer new or expanded UIL programs to students with disabilities, school districts and charter schools could see increased costs. However, some school districts could offset increased costs by charging fees.
