Officials from the Department of Higher Education (DHE) assume this legislation has no direct fiscal impact on the DHE.

Oversight further assumes there would be no permanent increase in operating costs as a result of this proposal, and that any costs associated with prospective changes in institutional mission would be addressed through the normal state budget process for higher education.
