Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3659 by Reynolds (Relating to the Houston Community College System District service area.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
The provisions of the bill would expand Houston Community College System District's service area to include part of the Fort Bend Independent School District that is located in the municipalities of Houston and Pearland. It is anticipated that the community college may have to assume a larger portion of the instructional costs for students residing in the newly added service area since residents would be able to pay in-service area rates for tuition or fees.
