OFFICE OF FISCAL ANALYSIS Legislative Office Building, Room 5200 Hartford, CT 06106 (860) 240-0200 http://www.cga.ct.gov/ofa HB-6075 AN ACT CONCERNING INSTRUCTORS FOR AN AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM. Primary Analyst: DD 3/18/25 Contributing Analyst(s): OFA Fiscal Note State Impact: Agency Affected Fund-Effect FY 26 $ FY 27 $ State Department of Education GF - Revenue Loss Less than 1,000 Less than 1,000 Note: GF=General Fund Municipal Impact: None Explanation The bill results in a General Fund revenue loss of less than $1,000 annually beginning in FY 26. It does so by clarifying that instructors in the airframe and powerplant maintenance program administered by the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS) do not need to have educator certificates issued by the State Department of Education. These certificates have an associated fee of $200 for new educators. CTECS has eight instructor positions at its two airframe and powerplant maintenance programs, seven of which are currently filled. The Out Years The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would continue into the future subject to the number of airframe and powerplant maintenance instructors employed by CTECS and changes in educator certificate fees.
