LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 13, 2015 TO: Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, Senate Committee on Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB767 by Smith (Relating to cardiac assessments of participants in extracurricular athletic activities sponsored or sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League.), As Engrossed No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would obligate a district to require a student to receive an electrocardiogram before the student's participation in a University Interscholastic League (UIL) activity, including practice for the activity. A student would have to receive an electrocardiogram once before his or her first year of participation and again before his or her third year of participation. UIL would be required to adopt rules to administer the provisions of the bill, including procedures for requesting a waiver. Based on the analysis of the University of Texas System, UIL rulemaking could be accomplished using existing resources. Local Government Impact Some school districts pay for physical exams for their student athletes. These districts would experience increased costs if they chose to also pay for the required electrocardiograms. The districts might choose to pay the additional costs or to pass them on to parents or guardians of students.
