| relating to the payment of resident tuition and fees by certain high | ||
| school students who enroll in dual credit courses. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 54, Education Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Section 54.0551 to read as follows: | ||
| Sec. 54.0551. RESIDENT TUITION AND FEES FOR CERTAIN HIGH | ||
| SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN DUAL CREDIT COURSES. (a) This section | ||
| applies only to a dual credit course or other course for which a | ||
| student may earn joint high school and college credit. | ||
| (b) For purposes of determining the rates of tuition and | ||
| fees that an institution of higher education may charge a high | ||
| school student enrolled in a course described by Subsection (a), a | ||
| high school student is entitled to pay tuition and fees for the | ||
| course at the rates provided for residents of this state if the | ||
| student satisfies the requirements of Section 54.052(a)(1). The | ||
| institution shall determine whether the student is entitled to pay | ||
| tuition and fees at resident rates under this section without | ||
| reference to whether the student is a dependent for purposes of | ||
| Section 54.052(a)(2), and the presumption provided by Section | ||
| 54.052(b) does not apply to the determination. | ||
| (c) This section does not affect the determination of a | ||
| student's resident status for purposes of this title. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies | ||
| beginning with tuition and fees charged for the 2013 fall semester. | ||
| Tuition and fees charged for a term or semester before the 2013 fall | ||
| semester 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. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
| a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
| provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
| Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
| Act takes effect September 1, 2013. | ||
