LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 77th Regular Session February 27, 2001 TO: Honorable Irma Rangel, Chair, House Committee on Higher Education FROM: John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE: HB1029 by Wilson (Relating to the implementation of an on-campus provisional admission program at The University of Texas at Austin.), As Introduced ************************************************************************** * No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. * ************************************************************************** The bill re-establishes the provisional admission program at The University of Texas at Austin. The institution may incur increased costs to implement the program. However, this estimate assumes that students attending The University of Texas at Austin under the provisional program would have attended other state institutions. Therefore, the costs would have been incurred at another state institution and would not result in additional enrollment costs to the state. Although The University of Texas at Austin may incur additional administrative costs to implement the provisional program, no significant impact to the state is anticipated. Because of capacity concerns, The University of Texas at Austin may be obliged to revise admission policies in order to accommodate the provisional students. Local Government Impact No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
