IN RE:
SB1396 by Middleton (relating to a period of prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious text in public schools.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

The bill would require each school district board to take a vote within six months of the bill's effective date on whether to adopt a policy requiring every campus of the district to provide a period of prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious text.  However, no significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
