FROM: John Keel, Director
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
114 (Relating to the testing and remedial education of certain
students enrolling in institutions of higher education) this
office has determined the following:
The bill would exempt from the Texas Academic Skills Program
(TASP) requirements students not enrolled in more than two
courses per semester or those students not enrolled in a
certificate or degree program. It is estimated that 340 full
time equivalent (FTE) students per year attending community
colleges and 60 FTE students per year attending senior colleges
and universities would not be required to participate in
remediation.
The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first five years following passage
is estimated as follows:
Fiscal Probable Savings Probable Savings
Year from General to

1996 $749,200 $503,200
1997 749,200 503,200
