The Honorable Molly Baumgardner, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Education
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 144-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Baumgardner:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 109 by Senate Committee on Education
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 109 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
With SB 109, any individual who is a refugee or special immigrant visa holder who has
not previously established residence in any state or territory of the United States or the District of
Columbia other than Kansas and is enrolled or has been accepted for admission at a postsecondary
educational institution would be deemed to be a resident of Kansas for the purposes of tuition and
fees. The bill would specify certain individuals to whom the provisions would not apply. The bill
would include technical amendments.
The Kansas Board of Regents indicates the enactment of SB 109 would reduce tuition
revenues to all Kansas Board of Regents institutions from students who would qualify for resident
tuition under the provisions of the bill but would have previously paid the non-resident rate. The
Board indicates it is unable to estimate the fiscal effect as the number of students who would
qualify for the change cannot be determined. Any fiscal effect associated with SB 109 is not
reflected in The FY 2024 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
