Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to develop and fund a Literacy Center pilot program at a single community college district designated by THECB pursuant to selection criteria required by the bill.
Methodology
The THECB estimates it can administer the Literacy Center pilot program within the agency's current staffing levels. The THECB estimates a cost of about $10,000 per year in travel expenses for the THECB staff and the following grant funding amounts: $227,000 in FY 2010, $224,500 in FY 2011, $223,000 in FY 2012, $227,000 in FY 2013, and $224,500 in FY 2014. The grant funding amounts are based on the THECB's estimated cost of salaries, benefits, fees, supplies, student incentives, faculty release time, and professional development expenses associated with esablishing and maintaining the Center.

Local Government Impact
The community college district designated by the THECB to be the site of the Literacy Center pilot program would presumably be affected by implementing the requirements of the bill, which in addition to establishing the Center would include cooperating with community libraries, local school districts, and other local entities.
