| IN RE: | SB1542 by Shapiro (Relating to tuition flexibility at institutions of higher education.), As Introduced |
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would allow institutions to charge as designated tuition up to three times the statutory tuition amount and to set designated tuition at different rates for different programs. This change would have no fiscal impact to the State, because designated tuition is considered institutional funds and, therefore, is outside of the appropriations process.
