LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 12, 2013 TO: Honorable Kel Seliger, Chair, Senate Committee On Higher Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:SB52 by Zaffirini (Relating to exemptions for disabled peace officers from payment of tuition and fees at public institutions of higher education.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill amends statute as it relates to exemptions for disabled peace officers from the payment of tuition and fees at public institutions of higher education by making the exemption mandatory instead of permissive and clarifying which fees would be covered by the exemption. Based on information provided by the Higher Education Coordinating Board most institutions currently honor the exemption. Therefore the impact to institutions of higher education in terms of foregone tuition, as well as any impact tied to formula funding, would be negligible.
