SB 362-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to a tuition reduction for certain students taking courses at a regional community-technical college.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The New Hampshire Community Technical College System states this bill will increase state revenue and increase state expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2007 and each year thereafter. This bill will have no fiscal impact on county and local revenue or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The System states they are unable to estimate the number of high school students, public and private, who will enroll at half price tuition on a space available basis pursuant to this bill. The System estimates there are approximately 30,000 public students in grades eleven and twelve. Current tuition is $164 per credit, of which eligible students would pay $82 per credit. Enrollment is granted on a space available basis but an increase in students will increase costs associated with such functions as admissions, the bursar’s office and maintenance. The extent to which the half price tuition will offset these costs is unknown.
