         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB926 ( Relating 
to the medical services fee at the University of North Texas.) 
this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB926-As Introduced
         
No fiscal impact to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
The bill would authorize the Board of Regents of the University 
of North Texas to increase the medical services fee charged 
to students attending the institution.  The fee could not exceed 
$50 for each semester of the regular term or 12 -week summer 
session and could not exceed $25 for each six-week or shorter 
term of the summer session.

It is estimated the medical services 
fee rate would increase gradually at a rate of 10 percent each 
year.  The estimated increase would generate approximately $202,900 
in institutional funds in Fiscal Year 1998 and $446,400 in Fiscal 
Year 1999. 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
