Amend HB 269 by adding the following appropriately numbered 
SECTION to the bill and renumbering the remaining SECTIONS of the 
bill accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  Subchapter Z, Chapter 51, Education Code, is 
amended by adding Section 51.9112 to read as follows:
	Sec. 51.9112.  RESERVE OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS (ROTC) 
PROGRAM:  FEES AND COURSE CREDIT.  (a)  The Texas Higher Education 
Coordinating Board, in consultation with institutions of higher 
education, shall determine a standard fee for a course offered 
through a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program that 
takes into account the average statewide cost per student to an 
institution of higher education in providing the program, not 
including any reimbursement or other amounts the institution 
receives from the applicable military service or other source for 
offering the course.  Except as provided by Subsection (b), the 
governing board of each institution of higher education may not 
charge a student enrolled in an ROTC course any amount for the 
course in excess of the fee as determined by the coordinating board 
under this subsection.
	(b)  If the governing board of an institution of higher 
education offers course credit towards a student's degree for a 
course in which the student enrolls for the purposes of an ROTC 
program, the governing board may charge the student tuition for 
that course as otherwise provided by Chapter 54 after subtracting 
any reimbursement or other amount the institution receives from the 
applicable military service or other source for offering the 
course.
	(c)  To the extent it will not adversely affect the 
accreditation status of an institution of higher education with the 
appropriate accrediting agency, the governing board of the 
institution shall count courses in which a student enrolls for the 
purposes of an ROTC program, including courses for which the 
student does not receive course credit towards the student's 
degree, in determining whether the student is enrolled as a 
full-time student.
