FISCAL NOTE, 79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 6, 2005

TO:
Honorable Royce West, Chair, Senate Committee on S/C on Higher Education
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB30 by Zaffirini (Relating to tuition and fee exemptions for students contracting to graduate in a timely manner from public institutions of higher education.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.


Local Government Impact

Local higher educational institutions and junior colleges would lose tuition revenue amounting to 15 hours of college credit in the case of the institutions and 9 hours in the case of junior colleges.  The estimated loss of these local funds would depend upon the number of students that entered into and completed the contractual requirements that would be implemented by this legislation.
