FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

May 13, 2009

TO:	Honorable Judith Zaffirini, Chair, Senate Committee on Higher Education
FROM:	John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB1342 by Hinojosa (relating to authorization for an exemption from tuition and fees charged by a junior college district for employees of the district.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would give community college districts the option to provide free or discounted tuition and fees for district employees. Since community college tuition is not appropriated by the state, the cost of any tuition exemption or reduction would be borne by the local community college district.

Local Government Impact

The cost to districts will vary based on the degree individual community college districts opt to provide free or discounted tuition to district employees.
