      TO: Honorable Bob Bullock            Honorable James E. "Pete" Laney
          Lieutenant Governor                Speaker of the House
          Senate

         FROM:  John Keel, Director    
         
In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on SB1419 ( Relating 
to restrictions on the admission of certain persons promised 
or granted an athletic scholarship or similar financial assistance 
at a general academic teaching institution.) this office has 
detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by SB1419-Conference Committee Report
         
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
The bill would prohibit institutions of higher education from 
admitting a student who had received an athletic scholarship 
or similar financial assistance unless the student met minimum 
high school grade point average criteria for any entering freshman 
or, for a student other than an entering freshman, met the minimum 
cumulative college-level grade point average required for an 
undergraduate student to remain enrolled in the preceding academic 
year.  There could be an effect for institutions that offer 
scholarship athletic programs, but it is not estimated to be 
significant.  However, because these are institutional funds, 
there would be no fiscal impact to the State. 
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
