LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 4, 2017 TO: Honorable J. M. Lozano, Chair, House Committee on Higher Education FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB385 by Murphy (Relating to the elimination of certain formula funding and dropped course restrictions for students enrolled in accelerated, affordable baccalaureate programs at public institutions of higher education.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Education Code relating to the elimination of certain formula funding and dropped course restrictions for students enrolled in accelerated, affordable baccalaureate programs at public institutions of higher education. According to information provided by the Higher Education Coordinating Board, only Texas A&M University - Commerce and South Texas College offer accelerated baccalaureate programs as described by the bill. However, the Coordinating Board estimates awarding eight additional affordable baccalaureate programs through fiscal year 2020. This estimate assumes any impact to formula funding would not be significant. Additionally, any impact would not be seen until fiscal year 2020 as formula funding is provided to institutions based on student data prior to the biennium that will be funded. As such, formula funding in fiscal years 2018 and 2019 will be based on students that are enrolled during fiscal year 2017. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
