Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1817 amends the Education Code to raise the cap on the medical services fee, bus service fee, student center fee, and recreational sports fee that are charged students at component institutions of the Texas State University System. The bill raises the cap on all of these fees to $100 per regular semester or per summer session of a specified duration and to $50 per summer session of shorter duration.

The bill also prohibits the Texas State University System board of regents from increasing the medical services fee more than once in an academic year and makes any increase of more than 10 percent subject to approval by a majority vote of the students voting in an election held for that purpose.
