Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1521 amends the Education Code to allow the governing board of a public college or university to set tuition for a graduate school of business at a rate that is up to three times the statutory minimum rate.

Reason Given for Veto: "I support the goal of increased tuition flexibility for institutions of higher education and have signed House Bill No. 3015 to accomplish that goal. Senate Bill No. 1521, which would allow institutions to raise the tuition for graduate schools of business to the same level as law schools, does not achieve the comprehensive deregulation already provided in House Bill No. 3015. For that reason, Senate Bill No. 1521 is unnecessary."
