HB2752 by Brown, Fred ( Relating to the creation of nonprofit corporations to refund outstnading student loan bonds.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
 

The bill would allow the creation of qualified non-profit corporations for the purpose of refunding qualified student loan bonds.  It is not anticipated that these bonds could be considered obligations of the state.  The Texas Public Finance Authority has indicated that the authorized debt would be self-supported debt of non-governmental local corporations.

Local Government Impact

Fiscal impact to cities and nonprofit corporations authorized by the cities would vary depending on the level of revenue bonds issued, but is not anticipated to be significant.
