Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 562 amends the Education Code to allow the maximum student center fee that may be charged students at Texas Tech University to be increased to an amount not to exceed $100 per semester or term, provided the new cap is approved by a majority of the students voting in a referendum on the increase and the amount of the new cap is stated in the ballot. The act provides that approval of the increase in the maximum allowable fee does not affect the requirement that any increase of more than 10 percent in the actual fee charged must be approved by the student body in a referendum on that fee increase.

Senate Bill 562 applies beginning with the 1999 fall semester.
