Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2011 General Session

SB0067S01 - Annual Eye Examination for Children in Grades Kindergarten Through Three

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Enactment of this bill likely will not materially impact the state budget.

Local Governments (UCA 36-12-13(2)(c)):
Local education agencies (LEAs) currently provide free vision screenings for students through age 7 using a mix of volunteer and paid professional screeners. Extending the screenings to age 8 may increase the total number of screenings provided and result in additional costs to LEAs that use paid screeners. Assuming all LEAs use paid screeners the total increased cost may be $1.4 million.

Direct Expenditures by Utah Residents and Businesses (UCA 36-12-13(2)(d)):
Enactment of this bill likely will not result in direct, measurable expenditures by Utah residents or businesses.
