CONTINGENCY FOR HB 1238: Contingent upon passage of HB 1238, 
or similar legislation, it is the intent of the legislature that 
with the effective date of this act, each institution of higher 
education with a student health center that employs at least one 
physician working at least 30 hours per week, shall contract with a 
third party billing company to begin accepting private health 
insurance from students.
	Prior to entering into a contract with a third party billing 
company, the Higher Education Coordinating Board shall ensure that 
each third party billing company contracting with a student health 
center has demonstrated competence by getting at least three 
recommendation letters from student centers, including one in 
Texas.
	Should a student health center choose not to contract with a 
third party billing company, the institution of higher education 
shall have its FY09 general revenue appropriation reduced by an 
amount of $17.50 per full time student equivalent as determined by 
the Legislative Budget Board in cooperation with Higher Education 
Coordinating Board.
