The Honorable Molly Baumgardner, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Education
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 144-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Baumgardner:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 82 by Senate Committee on Education
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 82 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
SB 82 would require school districts to establish policies and concussion management
teams to prevent and manage concussions at schools and school activities. Concussion
management teams would be required to establish a return-to-play protocol, based on scientific
evidence-based practices, as well as for a student’s return to the classroom.
The enactment of SB 82 would have no fiscal effect on state aid to school districts or the
Department of Education. The Department notes that school districts would incur administrative
and training costs with the enactment of the bill; however, a fiscal effect cannot be estimated.
Sincerely,
Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
