House Bill 902 amends the Education Code to allow the Texas Woman's University board of regents to charge each student at the university a student fitness and recreational fee of up to $125 per regular semester or summer session of more than six weeks, or up to $62.50 per summer session of six weeks or less, to finance the construction, operation, and maintenance of a fitness or recreational facility or program. The bill makes the initial levy and any fee increase of more than 10 percent from one academic year to the next subject to approval by a majority vote of the students voting in an election held for that purpose, and it provides that the fitness and recreational fee is not counted toward the $250 cap on the total amount of all compulsory student services fees charged each student at the university.
