FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 22, 2023

TO:
Honorable Dade Phelan, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB4363 by Kuempel (Relating to the establishment of the Future Texas Teachers Scholarship Program for certain students at public institutions of higher education.), As Passed 2nd House

The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined due to the unavailability of data related to the number of educator preparation programs that would participate in the program and the number of scholarships that would be awarded.

The bill would create the Future Texas Teachers Scholarship Program administered by the Higher Education Coordinating Board (Board). The purpose of the program is to recruit, prepare and retain teachers to become leaders in their field and to provide assistance for tuition, mandatory fees, and other usual and customary costs of attendance at an eligible institution.

The bill requires the Board to adopt rules to establish eligibility criteria for educator preparation programs and for scholarship recipients. The Board indicates that until rules are finalized for the program, it is unknown which educator preparation programs will be eligible to participate in the program and how many scholarships would be awarded.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
