House Bill 1157 amends the Education Code to allow The University of Texas System board of regents to charge each student at The University of Texas of the Permian Basin a student services building fee of up to $150 per regular semester, $75 per summer session of more than six weeks, or $50 per summer session of six weeks or less to finance the construction and operation of a student services building on the campus. The bill prohibits any fee increase of more than 10 percent from one academic year to the next without the approval by a majority vote of the students voting in an election held for that purpose, and it provides that the recreational sports fee is not counted toward the $250 cap on the total amount of all compulsory student services fees charged each student at the university.
