The Honorable Steve Huebert, Chairperson
House Committee on Education
Statehouse, Room 286-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Huebert:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2233 by House Committee on Education
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2233 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2233 would require each local board of education to provide a stipend of $500 for each
teacher employed by the school district for classroom supplies in each school year.
Although the bill would require local boards of education to provide stipends totaling
$17,350,000 (34,700 teachers statewide x $500 stipend = $17,350,000), no additional state aid
would be authorized with the enactment of HB 2233. The Department of Education indicates that
school districts would have to make budget adjustments to fund the stipends within existing
resources of its local general funds. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2233 is not reflected in
The FY 2020 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
