Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

     
                           
                STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 
                      RS09665C1
                           
     This legislation will establish a 3% cap on increases in student matriculation fees
     at the four year colleges and universities; University of Idaho, Idaho State
     University, Boise State University and Lewis-Clark College. Overall resident
     student fees are an average of 46% higher today than 5 years ago. The
     matriculation fee average has changed from 2% ten years ago to its highest 12%
     change in 1998. It will be the intent of this legislation to put a hold on raising the
     matriculation fees more than 3% of the preceding year. 
     
     
     
                     FISCAL NOTE 
     
     The direct impact of the 3% cap would be on the students. if the state picks up this
     difference, there could be a $63 per student charge which is the difference
     between the 3% cap and the average expenditure per year for the last five years.
