	Amend CSSB 101 (House Committee Printing) as follows:                        

(1)  In SECTION 1 of the bill, immediately following added 	Subsection (d), Section 51.803, Education Code (page 3, between 
lines 17 and 18), insert the following:
	(e)  This section expires August 31, 2015.                              
	(2)  Add the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the 
bill and renumber subsequent SECTIONS of the bill appropriately:
	SECTION ___.  Effective September 1, 2015, Subchapter U, 
Chapter 51, Education Code, is amended by adding Section 51.8035 to 
read as follows:
	Sec. 51.8035.  AUTOMATIC ADMISSION:  ALL INSTITUTIONS.  
(a)  Each general academic teaching institution shall admit an 
applicant for admission to the institution as an undergraduate 
student if the applicant graduated with a grade point average in the 
top 10 percent of the student's high school graduating class in one 
of the two school years preceding the academic year for which the 
applicant is applying for admission and the applicant graduated 
from a public or private high school in this state accredited by a 
generally recognized accrediting organization or from a high school 
operated by the United States Department of Defense.  To qualify for 
admission under this section, an applicant must submit an 
application before the expiration of any application filing 
deadline established by the institution and, if the applicant 
graduated from a high school operated by the United States 
Department of Defense, must be a Texas resident under Section 
54.052 or be entitled to pay tuition fees at the rate provided for 
Texas residents under Section 54.058(d) for the term or semester to 
which admitted.
	(b)  After admitting an applicant under this section, the 
institution shall review the applicant's record and any other 
factor the institution considers appropriate to determine whether 
the applicant may require additional preparation for college-level 
work or would benefit from inclusion in a retention program.  The 
institution may require a student so identified to enroll during 
the summer immediately after the student is admitted under this 
section to participate in appropriate enrichment courses and 
orientation programs.  This section does not prohibit a student who 
is not determined to need additional preparation for college-level 
work from enrolling, if the student chooses, during the summer 
immediately after the student is admitted under this section.
	(c)  A reference in law to former Section 51.803, Education 
Code, is a reference to this section unless the context clearly 
indicates otherwise.
