DAVIS,STEVE-BOLAND-DAVIS,MONIQUE, PUGH AND FRITCHEY. New Act Creates the Tuition Increase Limitation Act. Beginning with the 1997-98 academic year, prohibits a tuition rate increase at a public university that is greater than the lesser of (i) 5% of the tuition rate for the preceding academic year, or (ii) the product of the tuition rate for the preceding academic year multiplied by the rate of inflation for the calendar year in which that academic year began. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Board of Higher Ed.) If the provisions of HB 147 were in effect, tuition increases would be limited to 3.0 percent, thus reducing tuition revenue by approximately $4.0 million for fiscal year 1998. STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE In the opinion of DCCA, HB 147 fails to create a State mandate. 97-01-15 H FILED WITH CLERK 97-01-16 H FIRST READING 97-01-16 H REFERRED TO HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE RULES 97-01-22 H ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE HIGHER ED 97-02-04 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR PUGH 97-02-19 H ADDED AS A JOINT SPONSOR BOLAND 97-03-05 H RE-ASSIGNED TO COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE 97-03-12 H DO PASS/SHORT DEBATE 011-004-000 HEXC 97-03-12 H PLACED CALENDAR 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-12 H FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED KUBIK 97-03-12 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE REQUESTED KUBIK 97-03-12 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-13 H FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-03-13 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-18 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR FRITCHEY 97-03-19 H STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE FILED 97-03-19 H CALENDAR ORDER 2ND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-03-25 H ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR DAVIS,MONIQUE 97-04-09 H SECOND READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-09 H PLCD CAL ORDER 3RD READING-SHORT DEBATE 97-04-10 H THIRD READING - CONSIDERATION POSTPONED 97-04-10 H PLACED CALENDAR-CONSIDERATION POSTPONED 97-04-25 H RE-REFERRED TO RULES COMM/RULE 19(A) RULES HRUL 99-01-12 H SESSION SINE DIE END OF INQUIRY Full Text Bill Summary
