HB 1224-FN-LOCAL - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to the definition of an adequate education.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Education states this bill will have an indeterminable fiscal impact on state expenditures and local revenue in FY 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state and county revenue or county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Education states this bill revises the definition of an adequate education, but retains the same general narrative format. The Department states it is unable to estimate the extent to which state expenditures and local revenue will be impacted because absent any cost-specific variables, there exists no basis for a fiscal estimate.
