The bill amends the Education Code relating to an intercollegiate athletics fee at Prairie View A&M University. Under provisions of the bill, Prairie View A&M University would be authorized to charge students an intercollegiate athletics fee of $12.60 per semester credit hour. Provisions of the bill allow that if certain conditions are met, the fee may exceed $12.60. The bill repeals the section of the Education Code specifying the expiration date of September 1, 2013 unless certain conditions are met for the authorization of this fee.
