The bill would remove the limitation relating to the number of junior college courses that a high school student may enroll in for dual credit. The bill could result in an increase in dual credit students at institutions of higher education. This could result in an additional cost to General Revenue due to increased formula costs for institutions of higher education beginning in fiscal year 2018. These costs are not considered significant.The bill has no direct fiscal implications for the Foundation School Program (FSP) and no impact on the operations of the Texas Education Agency.

These costs could vary widely depending on participation. Districts that did not cover the cost of tuition and fees may see some administrative cost savings for students that attended additional dual credit courses that were taught by the college and not by district staff.
