                       74th Regular Session

                          April 25, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Bill Ratliff, Chair          IN RE:  House BillNo. 2066,
         Committee on Education                               as engrossed
         Senate                                         By: Harris, Jack
         Austin, Texas







FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2066 (Relating to enrollment in courses and programs at the
University of Houston-Clear Lake and the University of Houston-
Victoria) this office has determined the following:

The bill would make no appropriation but could provide the legal
basis for an appropriation of funds to implement the provisions
of the bill.

The bill would allow the University of Houston-Clear Lake and the
University of Houston-Victoria to enroll students who have
completed 30 hours of course work at another institution to
enroll if they are concurrently enrolled at another public or
private institution of higher education.

It is assumed that these provisions would not affect a
significant number of students but would allow students to take
courses at the two universities earlier in their college careers.


No significant fiscal implication to the State or units of local
government is anticipated.
