TEA estimates cost associated with reporting requirements. It is anticipated that any additional costs associated with implementation of the legislation could be absorbed within existing resources. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. The TEA assumes that school districts likely already provide information on requirements under Section 37.0021 to affected school district staff and that including district-employed police officers among those who receive this information would not present any significant administrative costs. School districts could incur costs to update their local software systems to comply with the additional reporting requirements related to use of restraint.
