There may be a fiscal impact to institutions of higher education in the form of foregone auxiliary enterprise revenue, since any item purchased from an off-campus/internet vendor would reduce institutional income. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated. Bookstore operations at community colleges would be affected similar to other institutions of higher education. Source Agencies: LBB Staff: JK, CT, LD
