Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB29 by Perry (relating to requiring public school students to compete in interscholastic athletic competitions based on sex and a study conducted by the University Interscholastic League on the effects of allowing a student to participate in an athletic competition designated for the sex opposite to the student's sex.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to participation in interscholastic athletic activities could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Education Agency, local education agencies may incur administrative costs associated with gathering and maintaining evidence of students' biological sex at birth. Additionally, there may be costs related to providing female students the opportunity to participate in an athletic event for which there is not an equivalent female-designated option, if the district or school chooses to make this available.
