LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 11, 2013 TO: Honorable Jimmie Don Aycock, Chair, House Committee on Public Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB628 by Dale (Relating to the right of a member of the board of trustees of a school district to obtain information, documents, and records.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would require school districts to provide information, documents, and records to a school board trustee without requiring the trustee to submit a public information request, so long as the requested information is not excepted from disclosure or confidential by law. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Based on the analysis of the Texas Education Agency, it is assumed that school districts already incur costs related to providing information, documents, and records to school board trustees. To the extent that any school districts are charging school board trustees for information, documents, and records in response to school board trustee requests for public information, those districts would no longer be allowed to assess charges for this information.
