132nd MAINE LEGISLATURE
LD 11 LR 55(03)
An Act Regarding Temperature Standards for School Buildings
Fiscal Note for Bill as Engrossed with:
C "A" (S-142)
Committee: Education and Cultural Affairs
             
Fiscal Note
Potential State Mandate Removed - Committee exception
Minor cost increase - local school administrative units
Fiscal Detail and Notes
In the Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement (PFIS) for this bill, it was identified as a Potential State Mandate - Unfunded. The committee reviewed the PFIS and determined that a school board may choose to adopt a temperature policy that incurs additional costs to the school administrative unit, however, the adoption of such a policy is ultimately voluntary and not required under this bill. As the committee included this exception in the summary of the committee amendment, the Potential State Mandate - Unfunded language was removed from this fiscal note for this committee amendment.
Local school boards may incur minor administrative costs to draft the written policy establishing minimum and maximum temperature standards for school buildings and post the policy on its publicly accessible website.
