No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Under provisions of the bill, an institution of higher education shall award to an undergraduate student course credit for all physical education courses required by the institution for an undergraduate degree and for additional credit hours (not to exceed 12) that may be applied to satisfy any elective requirements if the student graduated from a public or private high school in this state or from a high school operated by the United States Department of Defense and was discharged because of a disability.  It is assumed that any impact to institutions in terms of lost revenue associated with these courses would be minor.

Local Government Impact
