with student approval increase a recreational sports fee to not exceed
$100 a semester ($50 per summer session).

Approval of this bill could increase revenue for institutions of The
Texas A&M University an estimated $4,500,000 over the next six years. Due
to the 10% per year limit in increase this ranges from $600,000 the
first year to $941,000 in year six.
