By:  Shelley                                          S.B. No. 1359
       73R8494 SOS-D
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to repealing the exemption of certain students from paying
    1-3  tuition charged by public institutions of higher education.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 54.207, Education Code, is repealed.
    1-6        SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
    1-7  to tuition that becomes due beginning with the fall semester in
    1-8  1993.  Tuition that became due before that semester is governed by
    1-9  the law in effect at the time the tuition became due, and that law
   1-10  is continued in effect for that purpose only.
   1-11        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-12  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-13  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-14  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-15  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-16  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-17  passage, and it is so enacted.
