IN RE: | HB1890 by Morrison (Relating to tuition rebates to certain undergraduate students who graduate from an institution of higher education without excessive semester credit hours.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the number of Credit By Examination (CBE) semester credit hours that are counted toward the cap established to qualify for a tuition rebate, so that only CBE hours in excess of nine semester credit hours would apply toward the cap.
Based on a survey done by the Higher Education Coordinating Board to determine the number of students denied a tuition rebate from excessive CBE hours applied to the cap, it is determined that the fiscal implication of this bill is less than $25,000 a year for each year of the biennium.
