House Bill 29 amends the Education Code to require the governing board of a general academic teaching institution other than a public state college to offer entering undergraduate students, including transfer students, the opportunity to participate in a fixed tuition price plan under which the institution agrees not to increase tuition charges per semester credit hour for a participating student for at least the first 12 consecutive semesters that occur after the date of the student's initial enrollment. Fees charged by an institution to a participating student are capped at the fees charged to a similarly situated nonparticipating student if the institution offers other tuition payment options.
