FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 24, 2015

TO:
Honorable John Zerwas, Chair, House Committee on Higher Education
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1903 by Raney (Relating to the distribution of funds to campuses in the Blinn Junior College District service area.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.


Local Government Impact

The bill would require the governing board of the Blinn Junior College District to direct a proportionate amount of the district's contact hour formula funding and the tuition and fees generated by the district to each district campus based on the percentage of the total amount of tuition and fees collected at that campus. Based on information provided by Blinn Junior College, implementing the provisions of the bill would reduce funding to the Brenham campus due to the proportionate distribution of funds required by the provisions of the bill and could result in cuts to academic programs and extra-curricular student activities and services at the Brenham campus.
