Beginning with the 1997-98 academic year, prohibits a tuition rate increase at a public university that is greater than the lesser of (i) 5% of the tuition rate for the preceding academic year, or (ii) the product of the tuition rate for the preceding academic year multiplied by the rate of inflation for the calendar year in which that academic year began. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Board of Higher Ed.) If the provisions of HB 147 were in effect, tuition increases would be limited to 3.0 percent, thus reducing tuition revenue by approximately $4.0 million for fiscal year 1998. STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE In the opinion of DCCA, HB 147 fails to create a State mandate.
