       IN RE:  HB2302  by Green (Relating to student fees for bus
               services at Southwest Texas State University), As
               Introduced

The bill would authorize an increase in student fees for increased bus
service pending a two-thirds vote of those students participating in a
general election.  It is estimated that a student fee increase would
generate $190,000 in increased revenue per year.

These fees are auxiliary in nature and do not impact state
appropriations.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
