Fiscal Detail and Notes
This preliminary fiscal note assumes that the intent of this legislation is to provide clarification of existing law and Department of Education Rule Chapter 132: Learning Results: Parameters for Essential Instruction regarding the demonstration of knowledge of the Constitution of Maine and the United States Constitution as part of the social studies and history requirement for a high school diploma and that no additional testing requirements will be required. Based on this assumption, this legislation should have no fiscal impact on the State or local school administrative units.
