LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION May 18, 2013 TO: Honorable Kel Seliger, Chair, Senate Committee on Higher Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB2448 by Turner, Sylvester (relating to tuition for certain students residing outside of a junior college district.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. Local Government Impact The provisions of the bill requires a governing board of a public junior college district that includes at least six campuses shall allow a person who resides outside the district and inside the taxing district of a contiguous junior college district to pay tuition and fees at the same rate as the district campus the student resides as of January 1, 2013. The area in which the person resides would have to be designated as a super neighborhood by a municipality with a population greater than two million. Based on a survey of several community colleges, it is anticipated that the applicable public junior college districts may have to assume a larger portion of the instructional costs for the eligible students since they would be able to pay in-service area rates for tuition or fees. However, the applicable public junior colleges may see a net increase in revenue from additional students who would now pay in-service area rates.

The area in which the person resides would have to be designated as a super neighborhood by a municipality with a population greater than two million. Based on a survey of several community colleges, it is anticipated that the applicable public junior college districts may have to assume a larger portion of the instructional costs for the eligible students since they would be able to pay in-service area rates for tuition or fees. However, the applicable public junior colleges may see a net increase in revenue from additional students who would now pay in-service area rates.
