THE COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS
To whom was referred a Bill (H.4006) to amend the Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, by adding Section 5953425 so as to provide that Trident Technical College is authorized to establish a four-year culinary curriculum program, etc., respectfully
REPORT:
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
ROBERT W. HARRELL, JR. for Committee.
STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT
ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES:
$0 (No additional expenditures or savings are expected)
ESTIMATED FISCAL IMPACT ON FEDERAL & OTHER FUND EXPENDITURES:
See Below
EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:
Passage of this bill would have no direct impact on the General Fund of the State as the funds necessary for establishing this program must be provided from existing appropriations within the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education or other available revenue sources. Should tuition and fee revenue be used to cover these costs, it would likely necessitate an adjustment in Trident Technical College’s fee structure.
Approved By:
Don Addy
