Fiscal Note
HB0190 - State System of Higher Education Amendments
State Impact:
This bill moves some of the governance of higher education from the State Board of Regents to individual institutions' boards of trustees. While this provision would not have any short-term fiscal impact, if the boards of trustees were to expand programs, costs would increase.
The bill also provides a tax credit for tuition and fees paid for higher education. The anticipated loss of Education Fund revenue is estimated at $88.7 million.
