Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2011 General Session

SB0046 - Higher Education Residency Requirements

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Enactment of this legislation will decrease tuition revenue received by Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) institutions. The amount of lost revenue will be determined by the number of students who qualify under the legislation and the cost of tuition at a student's chosen institution. While an accurate estimate is not available, the USHE believes that the number of students will be small.

Local Governments (UCA 36-12-13(2)(c)):
Enactment of this bill likely will not result in direct, measurable costs and/or benefits for local governments.

Direct Expenditures by Utah Residents and Businesses (UCA 36-12-13(2)(d)):
Students who now pay nonresident tuition and would qualify for residency under the terms of this legislation would save between $2,300 and $13,600 in annual tuition payments depending on which institution they chose to attend.
