Honorable Rob Eissler, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
FROM:
John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3708 by Hochberg (Relating to the Early High School Graduation Scholarship Program.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would specify that awards under the Early High School Graduation Scholarship program be paid from funds appropriated for that purpose and repeals statutory language in Texas Education Code Sections 56.202 and 56.208 related to tuition credits and savings to the Foundation School Program (FSP).
The bill does not amend Texas Education Code Section 54.213(b) which authorizes funded from the FSP to fund the Early High School Graduation Scholarship program and tuition exemptions for eligible educational aides and certain students who are eligible to receive federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
