No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill creates a new student loan repayment assistance program for speech-language pathologists or audiologists employed by a public school or as faculty members of certain graduate programs at public institutions of higher education. The program would be administered by the Higher Education Coordinating Board (Board). The program would be funded solely from gifts, grants, and donations solicited and accepted by the Board. Since the bill indicates that the program would be supported exclusively by gifts, grants and donations, there would be no impact to the State.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
