FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 21, 2015

TO:	Honorable John Zerwas, Chair, House Committee on Higher Education
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2365 by Murphy (Relating to the requirements for employment positions provided through the Texas college work-study program.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would require that 50 percent of the employment positions through the Texas College work-study program in an academic year are provided by employers who are providing employment located off campus. The bill would not have a state fiscal impact to the program because it would only impact the type of employment positions supported through the program. Several institutions indicated that their allocations through the Texas college work study program could be impacted. As a result, departments within the institution which rely on work-study support would have to replace work-study students with other staff. This analysis assumes that any costs for institutions of higher education to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within current resources.

Local Government Impact

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