Fiscal Notes
No fiscal implication to State or local government.
Bill Analysis
SB 161 would would require the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to conduct a
study to examine the costs of educating students of limited English
proficiency (LEP). The bill would require TEA to submit a report of the results of the
study to each standing legislative committee with primary jurisdiction
over primary and secondary education by January 1, 2016.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill authorizes a study and has no discernible connection to the principles of liberty, therefore we are neutral on SB 161.
