Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1055 amends the Education Code to allow The Texas A&M University System board of regents to impose an intercollegiate athletics fee of up to $8 per semester credit hour on students at Texas A&M University--Corpus Christi. The initial levy and any increase in the fee amount from one academic year to the next are subject to approval by a majority of the students voting in an election held for that purpose or, if the amount of a proposed increase does not exceed five percent, by a majority vote of the legislative body of the student government on campus. The bill caps the fee for students taking more than 13 semester credit hours in a semester or summer session.
