The bill eliminates the set-aside of a portion of designated tuition for student financial assistance at public institutions of higher education. The bill also amends Section 56.465 of the Education Code (Tuition set aside for Texas B-On-Time Program) to remove the reference to Section 56.011 which is repealed by the bill. The requirement for a 5% set-aside on resident undergraduate tuition charged above $46 per SCH for the Texas B-On-Time program would still be in effect. The repeal of Subchapter B of Chapter 56 of the Education Code applies beginning with tuition charged for the 2011 fall semester.
