There is no significant fiscal impact.
05/21/2015 update:
Minor changes were made to HB 2396 which do not affect our original vote recommendation. The second chamber sponsor is Senator Seliger.
First chamber recommendation:
This bill affirms the principle of limited government, since it removes regulation that requires medical schools and law schools set aside a percentage of their tuition for loan repayment assistance. It would prevent the subsidization of loan repayment by students that may not even be eligible or benefit from the repayment assistance. For this reason, we support HB 2396.
