 TO:     Honorable Irma Rangel, Chair           IN RE: Committee Substitute
         Committee on Higher Education          for
         House of Representatives                             HouseBill No.
         Austin, Texas                          2812










FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
2812 (Relating to student fees to support intercollegiate
athletics at a public institution of higher education) this
office has determined the following:

The bill would prevent institutions of higher education from
using revenue derived from a student fee to support
intercollegiate athletics unless the fee is expressly designated
by law and by the institution's board as a fee that may be used
for that purpose.  The bill would limit the amount charged for
such a fee and require approval by a majority vote of students at
the institution.

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