IN RE:
SB1109 by West (Relating to requiring public schools to provide instruction and materials and adopt policies relating to the prevention of child abuse, family violence, and dating violence.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Among its provisions, the bill would require that students receive instruction on the prevention of child abuse, family violence, and dating violence.
This analysis assumes that the bill's provisions could be implemented with existing resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Education Agency, there could be costs for local districts to implement the required essential knowledge and skills in healthy relationships education. The costs could include professional development training for teachers and developing or purchasing instructional materials and resources.
