No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 

The bill would prohibit an institution from increasing tuition 
and fee charges for a semester or summer term after students 
register for the term.  It is assumed that institutions would 
establish tuition and fee charges for a semester or summer term 
prior to preregistration for the semester or term.
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
