Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2622 amends the Education Code to allow public college and university governing boards to waive a mandatory or discretionary student fee, other than a tuition or laboratory fee, for students who cannot participate in or use the activity, service, or facility financed by the fee. The act also allows such governing boards to waive fees for specific categories of students if the waiver is in an institution's best interest or is critical to the viability of an academic initiative. The act requires a board to ensure that such a waiver does not compromise an institution's debt service obligations arising from pledged fee revenues or its ability to support the activity, service, or facility financed by the fee.
