Amend HB 3826 by adding the following appropriately numbered
SECTIONS to the bill and renumbering the remaining SECTIONS of the
bill accordingly:
SECTION ____. Section 51.803, Education Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
(c) Each institution of higher education shall admit an
applicant for admission to the institution as an undergraduate
student if the applicant:
(1) is the child of a public servant listed in Section
615.003, Government Code, who was killed or sustained a fatal
injury in the line of duty; and
(2) meets the minimum requirements, if any,
established for purposes of this subsection by the governing board
of the institution for high school or prior college-level grade
point average and performance on standardized tests.
SECTION ____. Section 51.803(c), Education Code, as added by
this Act, applies beginning with admissions to general academic
teaching institutions for the 2008-2009 academic year. Admissions
to a general academic teaching institution before that academic
year are covered by the law in effect before the effective date of
this Act, and the former law is continued in effect for that
purpose.
