The Higher Education Coordinating Board has indicated that the academic advising assessment provision would require hiring an outside consulting firm with expertise in this area. They have estimated that a team of four consultants working 40 hours a week with the standard consultant pay rate of $35 per hour would cost $5,600 per week. Assuming it would take 16 weeks to complete the project, the estimaated labor cost would $89,600. They have also estimated an additional $10,000 would be needed for travel and incident expenses resulting in a total general revenue cost of $99,600 in fiscal year 2010.
The Higher Education Coordinating Board has indicated that the second provision of the bill dealing with the course transfer study could be absorbed within existing resources
