FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 6, 2015

TO:	Honorable John Zerwas, Chair, House Committee on Higher Education
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1992 by Zerwas (Relating to the granting of undergraduate course credit by advanced placement examination at public institutions of higher education.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend Education Code as it relates to the minimum score on an Advanced Placement examination for granting of undergraduate course credit at public institutions of higher education. The bill would require the Higher Education Coordinating Board to conduct a study on the performance of undergraduate students at institutions of higher education who receive undergraduate course credit for achieving required scores on one or more Advanced Placement examinations. This analysis assumes that any costs for the Higher Education Coordinating Board and institutions of higher education to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within current resources.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
