Honorable Brandon Creighton, Chair, Senate Committee on Higher Education
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1102 by Creighton (relating to the establishment of the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Program to support workforce education.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is required to implement this Act only if the legislature appropriates money specifically for that purpose. If the legislature does not appropriate money specifically for that purpose, the Coordinating Board may, but is not required to, implement this Act using other appropriations available for that purpose.
It is assumed that the direct costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to the establishment of the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Program to support workforce education could be absorbed using existing resources. However, there would be indeterminate fiscal implications from the amounts and methods of funding for potential grants authorized through the bill's provisions.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
