FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2295 by Wu (Relating to allowing certain counties to cease operation of a juvenile justice alternative education program.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Education and Family Codes to allow certain counties to cease operation of a juvenile justice alternative education program.
It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
Taylor County anticipates annual cost savings of $621,268 should the county opt out of the Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program. The fiscal impact to other counties is dependent on whether the county opts out of the program.
