The Honorable Adam Thomas, Chairperson
House Committee on Education
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 218-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Thomas:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2132 by House Committee on Appropriations
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2132 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2132 would amend the Kansas Promise Scholarship Act by expanding eligible
programs to include elementary education, secondary education, and transportation. For students
enrolled at eligible private postsecondary institutions, the scholarship amount: (1) would be the
aggregate amount of tuition, mandatory fees and the cost of books and materials for the program
minus the aggregate amount of all other aid awarded to the student for the academic year, and (2)
could not exceed the average cost of tuition, mandatory fees and the cost of books and materials
for the program when offered by a community college or technical college. HB 2132 would
become effective upon publication in the Kansas Register.
The Kansas Board of Regents indicates the enactment of HB 2132 would increase costs
related to additional time required to administer the Kansas Promise Scholarship Act but the
additional costs would be negligible could be absorbed within existing resources.
Sincerely,
Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
