Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1024 amends the Education Code to raise the cap on the student center complex fee that The Texas A&M University System board of regents may charge students at system campuses. The bill raises the cap from $40 to $100 per semester and from $20 to $50 per summer session term, but it makes any increase of more than 10 percent from one academic year to the next at a component institution subject to approval by a majority of the institution's students voting at an election held for that purpose. The bill also requires the president of each institution to establish a system for soliciting and receiving student comments regarding construction and operation of a facility or program funded by the fee.
