Honorable Paul Bettencourt, Chair, Senate Committee on Local Government
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1401 by Springer (Relating to quarantine leave for fire fighters, peace officers, and emergency medical technicians employed by, appointed by, or elected for a political subdivision.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to require political subdivisions
to provide paid quarantine leave to fire fighters, peace officers, and emergency
medical technicians who may have been exposed to a communicable disease while on
duty.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time due to a lack of cost estimates from units of local government.
