Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The purpose of proposed House Bill 2551 is to require the State Board of Education to propose a plan to fund school transportation costs as an item separate from the present total state basic foundation program, and providing for better consideration of fixed costs of transportation in counties with low-density populations. The Plan called for within the proposed legislation would be required to be reported by the State Board of Education to the Legislature before September 1, 2019.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


In evaluating the requirements of the proposed legislation, we were unable to identify any specific costs which the State Board of Education would definitely incur, above and beyond, the normal cost of employee services to accumulate and evaluate the data needed to formulate the Plan called for in the proposed Bill. Of course, theoretically the State Board of Education could elect to engage private consultants to perform the required work and make necessary recommendations in which case the State would incur additional costs to implement the requirements of the Bill.
