LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
April 16, 2021
TO:
Honorable Bryan Hughes, Chair, Senate Committee on State Affairs
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB2202 by Creighton (Relating to civics instruction public school students and instruction policies in public schools.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Among its provisions, the bill would require that no private funding be used for curriculum development, purchase or choice of curricular materials, teacher training, or professional development pertaining to courses on Texas, United States, and world history, government, civics, social studies, or similar subject areas.
It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to civics instruction public school students and instruction policies in public schools could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
To the extent that a local education agency relied on private funds for any of the prohibited activities, that LEA could see increased costs as a result of the bill.
