SUMMARY:

Prepaid tuition program. Requests the Secretary of Finance to study the financial, marketing, and tax implications of a prepaid tuition program. The 1992 Session requested the State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV), in cooperation with the Department of Treasury, to study the efficacy and appropriateness of establishing a prepaid tuition program, which would permit the prepayment of college tuition at a fixed rate potentially lower than actual cost. In its 1993 report (HD 53), SCHEV and the Department indicated that "a more complete -financial analysis must be conducted to determine the financial feasibility of initiating such a program and an accrual analysis to determine the pricing policy and rates to be considered." The report also included a recommendation that the Treasurer investigate the federal and state income tax implications of a prepaid tuition program. These programs have been implemented in several states; tax rulings and other complex financial concerns have affected the operation of the Michigan program.
