1-22 tuition charged by public institutions of higher education.
1-23 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-24 SECTION 1. Section 54.207, Education Code, is repealed.
1-25 SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only

1-31 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-32 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-35 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-36 passage, and it is so enacted.
