comma, insert "and subject to Subsection (e)".
(2) On page 2, between lines 16 and 17, insert the following:
(e) In an academic year to which Subsection (b)(3) applies,
an institution of higher education may not charge tuition under
Subsection (b) in excess of the amount provided by Subsection

Education Coordinating Board to have made satisfactory progress
since the preceding year toward the accessibility goals established
by the coordinating board in the master plan for higher education
and in Closing the Gaps by 2015. For each institution that the
coordinating board determines has not made satisfactory progress
toward those goals, the coordinating board shall establish criteria
that the institution must meet to be considered to be making
satisfactory progress toward those goals by the next January 1. Not
later than September 1, the governing board of the institution must
prepare and submit to the coordinating board a plan for the
institution's efforts to make satisfactory progress toward those
goals, together with information required by the coordinating board
to assist the coordinating board to evaluate the progress of the
institution in meeting the goals, including information on the
race, ethnicity, and economic background of the institution's
student body and most recent entering class.
(3) Beginning on page 2, line 17, reletter the other
subsections of amended Section 54.0513, Education Code,
