House Bill 1157

House Author:  West, George "Buddy"

Effective:  6-15-07

Senate Sponsor:  Seliger


            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.
