Amend SB 86 (House Committee Printing) by adding the 
following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and 
renumbering the remaining SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
	SECTION _____.  (a)  Section 51.805(c), Education Code, is 
amended to read as follows:
	(c)  A general academic teaching institution may review other 
factors in making an admissions decision.  A general academic 
teaching institution must consider the same factors and apply the 
same standards, criteria, and formulas, including minimum 
standards for high school grade point averages or test scores, to 
all applicants for admission to the institution as entering 
freshman in ranking those applicants or determining which 
applicants are to be offered admission.
	(b)  The change in law made by this Act in amending Section 
51.805(c), Education Code, applies beginning with undergraduate 
admissions to a general academic teaching institution of higher 
education for the 2004-2005 academic year.  Undergraduate 
admissions to a term or semester before that academic year are 
covered by the law in effect immediately before the effective date 
of this Act, and the former law is continued in effect for that 
purpose.
