1-5 SECTION 1. Section 54.511(b), Education Code, is amended to
1-6 read as follows:
1-7 (b) Not more than once in an academic year, the board may
1-8 increase the fee authorized in Subsection (a) of this section for

1-14 term.
1-15 SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies
1-16 beginning with fees imposed in the 1999 fall semester.
1-17 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-18 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-19 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-20 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-21 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
