5. HB 3015 3rd Reading

Final passage of the unlimited tuition bill for public universities in the State of Texas. May 27, 2003, p 2596 HB 3015 passed 23-8.

YCT Nay. This bill divests the responsibility of the State Legislature of setting tuition rates and gives it to the individual public university without caps and with virtually no legislative oversight. This bill will allow public universities to set their own tuition rates and raise them at their own will, which in the end only hurts college students and their families.
