METHODOLOGY:

This bill restricts non-legal residents of the state from adult education programs under RSA 186:61-63.  The Department of Education provides programs for approximately 7,000 adults, but does not collect any information pertaining to the legal status of those served.  Therefore, it is not possible to estimate this bill’s impact on state expenditures, or local revenue and expenditures to the extent funds pass through school districts.
