FISCAL NOTE
House Bill 61
Committee: Education Policy Sponsor: Representative Susan DuBose
Analyst: John Friedenreich Date: 04/15/2025
House Bill 61 as passed the House of Representatives would increase the obligations of the
local boards of education, beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, by an undetermined
amount dependent on the cost of any required increase in instructional personnel and/or
classroom space to accommodate home-schooled students participating in career and technical
programs in public schools, as provided by this bill. These obligations could be offset, in whole
or in part, by the collection of course fees received from the student equal to the fee charged to
an enrolled public school student.
Additionally, this bill would increase the administrative obligations of the State Board of
Education and the local school boards of education to adopt rules and policies, respectively,
pursuant to the provisions of this bill.
