 TO:     Honorable Irma Rangel, Chair           IN RE:  House Bill No. 3122
         Committee on Higher Education                  By: Ogden
         House of Representatives

FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
3122 (Relating to university sponsored and or controlled debit
card programs at state universities, junior colleges and
community colleges.) this office has determined the following:

The bill would authorize public institutions of higher education
to sponsor debit cards for the benefit of their students.  It is
assumed that such programs would be operated as an auxiliary
enterprise and pose no fiscal implications to the state.


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