LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
April 5, 2021
TO:
Honorable Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2256 by Guerra (Relating to creating a bilingual special education certification to teach students of limited English proficiency with disabilities.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
This analysis assumes the bill's provisions relating to creating a bilingual special education certification to teach students of limited English proficiency with disabilities would require TEA to dedicate new resources to implement the bilingual special education certification; however, a new SBEC fee paid by educator preparation programs and educators could be implemented to cover administrative costs beginning in FY 2024. It is assumed that costs associated with the bill's provisions in FY 2022 and FY 2023 could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
