STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 11839 This bill amends Idaho Code 33-2110 (1) by changing the cap on increases in community college tuition to a percentage amount equivalent to that traditionally allowed for four-year universities and colleges (10%), rather than a dollar amount as the statute currently provides. The current cap on increases of $50.00 per annum represents less than 10% of current rates. In addition, this bill raises the ceiling on annual tuition charged at community colleges to bring the limit in line with inflation and rising costs to accommodate tuition rate changes over a longer period of years. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed changes. Contact Name: Sen. John W. Goedde & Rep. Leon Smith Phone: 332-1355 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/FISCAL NOTE S 1384
