FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 12, 2009

TO:
Honorable Dan Branch, Chair, House Committee on Higher Education
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1568 by Gonzales (Relating to authorizing an exemption from tuition and fees charged by a junior college district for employees of the district.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. This bill would give community college districts the option to provide free or discounted tuition for district employees. Since community college tuition is not appropriated by the state, the cost of any tuition exemption or reduction would be borne by the local community college district.


Local Government Impact

The cost to districts will vary based on the degree individual community college districts opt to provide free or discounted tuition to district employees.
