FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 8, 2013

TO:	Honorable Kel Seliger, Chair, Senate Committee on Higher Education
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB27 by Zaffirini (Relating to eligibility for a Texas B-on-Time loan.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Under provisions of the bill, public junior colleges and public technical institutes would not participate in the Texas B-on-Time Loan Program. Although the bill modifies eligibility requirements for the program in regards to two year institutions participating in the program, the amounts disbursed to students attending two year institutions are not significant compared to state appropriations for the program. Therefore any impact on general revenue funds is not considered significant to the state.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
