IN RE:
HB1697 by McCall (Relating to the use of gifts to fund technology workforce development grants and to the evaluation of the technology workforce development grant program.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill clarifies the available sources of funding for the technology workforce development grant program. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) estimates that the implementation of the new provisions would not have a material impact on funding sources. As a result, the impact on state matching for the program would be negligible.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
