BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 77th Legislature, state law permitted students at public
colleges and universities in Texas the option to pay tuition in
installments for fall and spring semesters, but not for summer sessions.
House Bill 1212 provides these students with the option to pay summer
tuition and fees in three installments.  

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 1212 amends the Education Code to authorize the governing board
of each institution of higher education to permit a student enrolled for a
summer session to pay tuition and fees in three installments. The bill sets
forth provisions for the timing and amounts of the installments.  

EFFECTIVE DATE
