LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 10, 2009 TO: Honorable Rob Eissler, Chair, House Committee on Public Education FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB850 by Eissler (Relating to repeal on a periodic basis of the provisions of Titles 1 and 2 of the Education Code to provide for legislative review of the primary state statutes governing public education.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. This bill would periodically repeal provisions of Titles 1 and 2 of the Education Code to provide for legislative review of public education statutes. The bill also would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) to assist the legislature in reviewing the Education Code, and to make recommendations concerning the provisions subject to repeal. It is assumed for the purpose of this fiscal note that the assistance and recommendations required of the Legislative Budget Board (LBB) and the Texas Education Agency would play a supportive rather than primary role in the legislative review process. Based on this assumption, additional administrative costs incurred due to redirection of existing workload would not be expected to become significant for either the Agency or the LBB. If this assumption is incorrect and the bill is intended to require the TEA and LBB to serve primary roles in the legislative review process, significant costs would be anticipated. Although actual cost or savings will depend upon future actions of the legislature and cannot be determined at this time, it is assumed that provisions representing a substantively similar level of state cost would be enacted to replace provisions subject to repeal under the bill. As a result, no significant savings to the state are anticipated from the repeal of provisions in Titles 1 and 2 of the Education Code under the bill. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Source Agencies:701 Central Education Agency LBB Staff: JOB, JSp, JGM
