HOUSE BILL 1465 |
HOUSE AUTHOR: Kitchen et al. |

SENATE SPONSOR: Barrientos |
House Bill 1465 amends the Education Code to require the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to establish a pilot project to measure the impact of reducing tuition for selected junior college courses below the required minimum rates at times of low enrollment demand to promote greater access to higher education and more efficient use of junior college facilities and resources. The bill provides that charging tuition at a reduced rate does not affect a participating junior college's state funding for the contact hours attributable to the students paying the reduced tuition.
The pilot project applies beginning with the 2001 fall semester.
