LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 22, 2015 TO: Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, Senate Committee on Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB2046 by Taylor, Van (Relating to equal opportunity for access by home-schooled students to University Interscholastic League-sponsored activities; authorizing a fee.), As Introduced No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would require public schools that participated in University Interscholastic League (UIL) activities to provide home-schooled students that resided in their attendance area and who otherwise met league eligibility standards with the opportunity to participate in UIL activities along with students enrolled in the school. The bill has no direct fiscal implications for the Foundation School Program (FSP), the UIL, or the operations of the Texas Education Agency. Local Government Impact School districts would experience costs for uniforms, equipment, travel, and other costs related to the participation of students in UIL activities. While districts have the authority to charge students for many of these costs, districts that do not charge all of their students for participation would not be authorized to adopt a policy that established fees for home-schooled children only. There would be some administrative costs to collect academic proficiency information every other year and to accept periodic academic progress reports to determine continued eligibility to participate in UIL activities.
