BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 51.3062, Education Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (r-1) to read as follows: | ||
(r-1) If a student described by Subsection (r)(4), (5), or | ||
(6) elects to take an assessment instrument under this section, the | ||
institution of higher education that administers the instrument to | ||
the student may not charge the student any fee for taking the | ||

covered by the law in effect before the effective date of this Act, | ||
and that law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||

Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
