The Deparment of Education was initially contacted on December 29, 2018, with follow up on January 12, 2019 for a fiscal note worksheet, which they have not provided as of January 17, 2019.

 

METHODOLOGY:

This bill requires that within two years, every public and nonpublic school provide each classroom with an emergency medical kit.  This bill also appropriates $200,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, to the Department of Education for the purpose of supplying the kits, however, this bill’s effective date is July 1, 2019, which would be after the expiration of the appropriation.  While no information has been received from the Department, to the extent this bill requires schools to equip their classrooms with medical kits, the Office of Legislative Budget Assistant assumes this bill would result in an indeterminable increase to local expenditures by FY 2022.
