HB 1272-FN- FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT\trelative to bus transportation for chartered public school students.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Education states this bill, as amended by the Senate (Amendment #2016-0810s), may have an indeterminable impact on local expenditures in FY 2016 and each year thereafter. There will be no impact on state, county, and local revenue or state and county expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Education states this bill amends RSA 194-B:2, V relative to transportation costs for chartered public school students. The Department states it does not collect information from chartered public schools relative to added costs for transportation services and is therefore unable to estimate the fiscal impact, if any, of this bill.
