Enrolled Bill Summary

            Senate Bill 746 amends the Education Code to allow the cap on the total amount of compulsory student services fees charged at The University of Texas at El Paso to be raised to an amount not to exceed $250 per semester or summer session if the new cap is approved by a majority of the students voting in a student referendum on the matter. An increase in the total amount that may be levied does not affect the requirement that each increase of 10 percent or more in the actual total fee amount charged be subject to approval in a separate student referendum on that fee increase. The act also allows The University of Texas System board of regents to charge students at The University of Texas at El Paso the same student union fee for each summer session of six weeks or more as it charges for a regular semester.
