TO: | Honorable Judith Zaffirini, Chair, Senate Committee on Higher Education |
FROM: | John S O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB419 by West (Relating to prohibiting state funding to public junior colleges for physical education courses offered for joint high school and junior college credit.), As Introduced |
The bill would implement a recommendation in the report, "Monitor Outcomes and Limit Course Offerings to Ensure Dual Credit Course Quality" in the Legislative Budget Board's Government Effectiveness and Efficiency Report submitted to the Eighty-Second Texas Legislature, 2011.
This bill excludes the contact hours attributable to a joint highschool and junior college credit course for which a high school student may receive course credit toward the physical education curriculum requirement under Section 28.002(a)(2)(c).
The agency estimates there would be a minimal savings associated with implementing the provisions of the bill.
