Fiscal Note 
No fiscal impact to State funds. 
This legislation requires superintendents of local school units and headmasters of private schools to notify parents of 
air quality violations of facilities in which children of those schools may be touring. Since having school children 
tour these facilities is an option of the local schools, there is no state mandate associated with this requirement.
