In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB1820 ( Relating 
to the tuition charged to certain foreign students with financial 
need at certain components of the Texas State Technical College 
System.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB1820-As Introduced
         
No significant fiscal implication to the state is anticipated.
         
The bill would exempt certain students from Mexico who attend 
Texas State Technical College -Harlingen.  There are currently 
nine students from Mexico who attend TSTC-Harlingen.  Although 
this number is expected to increase, the fiscal impact to the 
state would not be significant.
         
 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
