IN RE:
SB439 by Birdwell (Relating to the Weatherford College District service area.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
The provisions of the bill would expand Weatherford College District's service area to include Hood County. To the degree this added service area is not included as part of the college's taxing district, the 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.
