FROM: | Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB2448 by Turner, Sylvester (Relating to tuition for certain students residing outside of a junior college district.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill require that a person who resides outside the district and inside the taxing district of a contiguous junior college district to pay tuition and fees at the same rate as the district campus the student resides. The area in which the person resides would have to be designated as a super neighborhood by a municipality with a population greater than two million.
Based on a survey of several community colleges, it is anticipated that the applicable community colleges may have to assume a larger portion of the instructional costs for the eligible students since they would be able to pay in-service area rates for tuition or fees. However, some community colleges may see a net increase in revenue from additional students who would now pay in-service area rates.
