Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment reduces the one-time General Fund appropriation in the bill of $62,914 by $28,826 in fiscal year 2017-18 by specifying that traffic-safety education must be provided for at least 4 different grade levels between grade 4 and grade 12 instead of kindergarten to grade 12.  This amendment does not remove the potential state mandate from the bill.
As amended, this bill includes a one-time General Fund appropriation of $34,088 in fiscal year 2017-18 to the Learning Systems program within the Department of Education for 90% of the cost to school administrative units to implement and annually provide age-appropriate traffic safety education to students in at least 4 different grade levels between grade 4 and grade 12.
