LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
March 30, 2021
TO:
Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
FROM:
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 biological sex.), Committee Report 1st 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.
