The ĢƵ (USM) supports HB 308 with clarifying amendments. I first want to commend and thank Governor OMalley for his strong support for higher education and introducing this bill to make permanent the Higher Education Investment Fund (HEIF). I also want to thank you the Members of the Maryland General Assembly for taking this courageous action during the 2007 Special Session and establishing the HEIF. As you recall during the 2007 Special Session the Governor proposed increasing the corporate income tax rate and dedicating a portion of that increase to the HEIF. In the two years (FY 2008 and FY 2009) that this fund has existed it has enabled you and the Governor to do the following: freeze tuition, provide for enrollment growth, work towards closing the achievement gap, and move Maryland Higher Education towards the top tiers in the country. It is imperative that we continue this momentum. It is necessary and appropriate that the HEIF be made permanent. The business community supported the increase in the corporate tax rate with the understanding that part of it would be used to fund higher education. The USM Board of Regents are requesting that this commitment be honored and the HEIF be made permanent. We are requesting two amendments to the legislation to clarify the intent of the fund. First, when the legislation was passed the term PUBLIC SENIOR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION was used. Shortly after passage it was realized that the intent was to cover all of public higher education and unfortunately the USM research institutions, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, and the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute did not fall within that definition. Therefore we are requesting the following amendment to clarify the definition. 15106.6. (a) (1) In this section the following words have the meanings indicated. (2) Fund means the Higher Education Investment Fund. (3) PUBLIC SENIOR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION AND INSTITUTE MEANS THE CONSTITUENT INSTITUTIONS AND RESEARCH INSTITUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF MARYLAND, MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, AND ST.MARYS COLLEGE OFMARYLAND. Second, we believe that the legislative intent of the HEIF was to dedicate a new and additional funding source to public higher education, not to simply replace or supplant general fund support. The language in the education Article 15-106.6 is as follows: Money in the Fund may be expended only: To supplement General Fund appropriations to public senior higher education institutions; Therefore as clarifying language we are requesting that section be amended to read: (i) To supplement NOT SUPPLANT General Fund appropriations to public senior higher education institutions; Thank you for allowing the ĢƵ to share these thoughts about HB 308. We appreciate this committees support for higher education.  +,6op  ̟̭̾vi_ivQChphp5OJQJ^JhphE5OJQJ^JhLOJQJ^JhphOJQJ^JhphpOJQJ^JhGCJOJQJ^JaJh@CJOJQJ^JaJhECJOJQJ^JaJ hw?hs-CJOJQJ^JaJhLCJOJQJ^JaJh_CJOJQJ^JaJ.jhpCJOJQJU^JaJmHnHuhpCJOJQJ^JaJ:p  : ; op3`'s`'`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s`'s 7$8$H$gdpgdp ]^gdp$a$gds-gdEZ]Zgdp     4 : 3ͼzh`\XThs-hhpjhpU#hphp5CJOJQJ^JaJ&hphp5CJOJQJ\^JaJ#hphpCJOJQJ\^JaJhCJOJQJ^JaJhLCJOJQJ^JaJ hphpCJOJQJ^JaJhM#hphWOK5CJOJQJ^JaJhphp5OJQJ^Jhphs-5OJQJ^J:TU`'s`'s`'`'`'`'`'s`'s`'s$a$gdp$hd@^ha$gdp$ & Fd@a$gdp $d@a$gdpgdp &1h:pp/ =!8"8#$h%'Dd 45J  C &Afrsealb&e4Tʣ\D˃G]&DnU&e4Tʣ\D˃GPNG  IHDRO%PLTE!!!!!!)))!)))11!1)111999!9)9)9)91999BBJRRRBJBG B)B1J)J1R1B)B)!H-J1R1R11R9R9B9J9R9J9!R9!B91RB!BB1BBBJJ9JJJ`Z9c9Z9cBcBZB!ZJ)ZJ1RJ9RRJZRJRRRZRRZZRZZZziF|O !cR)gV=ccRccc]x[/gRJkss{{k9k9s9kJoB{BFJJRRRkkksss{s{{{{!!))!{{1!1)9)9191B5J9NBRJZN{kcRg^so{s{{Ƅ΄{֌ތޔƜR!ΥZ֥Z֭ZޭZޭc޵ccckk޽kkks{΄ք֌֔֜ޜޥޭƽƵ絽ƽ.tRNSS%bKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Hs!IDATx^}y_XITqvLI3BNJkKF-.6IJ>B=@4@M #ǩo8qJ,o -qz}w~_9?>tyݲٹ³h]8$;`3BmR6.m4,&հ-w}֯'±x+*A>2?SdMO62(˛ʳڱD++շj0<!QޠH$G/9pŕy08ua4{m`i2(J˿h+1S]CmFK2^٠G5c媁zU}UJu|a:G_FОek5Rl5Ɖ/ԡDMP$bT,E.֫ۅb}9!t-5ɒ몹Pc1tDuZInZ4$ЁS7sF#Ŭ6R2&堶zdɦ,bP P?YM=&t5U# QhMN|1Q SgX}5+Y@n=aO# Hsl(H[ʥEuGA9"Qc|AO%ׅp\F5g`#4ntH@y:Δ 浈g\jL[}RK(刬nG2Uc[~^)USzo~48A4 "+Ӳ7RG@6*lv5YKM0~Z?Rz.BgVWQxD AUC v %8g m|:h\al*߀*3]EB'_Rs=!dvBm:B X6*/AQCga"߶4S1 ĬWI9'"}&KA+KmE64 dTc u6j Y,/ssaZ8vRz7:?oJ6cTu2s|;0rCsfgczvC 87K]qҭXo A=~f<]^<6?+觧gfN}O2cMaNĠ*Pj lȍB(Z s M;}pRLs R#!U:q7j9.Hβ ,kl\#҈)쁅4TS; ӡ[wiB9̊Geےó;AKsypb6ŌX5o u F!TB.aeٞ" ttTt{4v N?K>s@v5Q:{9j: 1ctBґOX1dc\@%֍{ uc#ڱ{yd{U3Bٗ3!Wj:U=Ib%]aO0;vpBfBZ.]hIo([br./H3BGMǪ:^aƮEԣTjV!P Oߌ+u(5c&""7E4A6vMZ *f4h&,%R.KVϩ|:t>VoXw&y:1~Y/]3XK9me2# ^Ԡe;;v^$㺫"nFu]QVQB QsEWOks`]GowL0)bZB:=CnJ1*pXbinw ԅ,Bp;ǧYp{W(9 bv좗Н'/=Xz᮱r~AMVnE<0NN1腙S `p;@O84MЌ%r* RˬWc&%SG ~t2,GR{&h!`RqfJkӠ_0-H6H:GW ^X`uz*1bDkgԞh7 8S!
