FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

March 9, 2009

TO:	Honorable Dan Branch, Chair, House Committee on Higher Education
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB203 by Castro (Relating to notice to certain public school high school seniors and their parents or guardians of automatic college admission.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill amends Section 28.026, Education Code, to school districts to provide high school seniors and their parents or guardians with a notice regarding automatic college admission.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.

No additional cost is anticipated to school districts that currently provide a similar notice to high school seniors who are eligible for automatic admission.  If a school district currently does not provide notice of eligibility for automatic admission to students and parents, minor costs associated with copying and distributing the notification form could be incurred.
