     On page 5, beginning on line 3, after "surcharge" strike all material through "category." on line 13, and insert "may vary among student categories.  The amount of the surcharge levied in one academic year shall not be included in base tuition fees in the next academic year.  In any academic year, the total amount of revenue raised through the surcharge shall not exceed fifteen percent of the revenue raised through base tuition fees in that academic year."

     On page 6, beginning on line 20, after "surcharge" strike all material through "category." on line 30, and insert "may vary among student categories.  The amount of the surcharge levied in one academic year shall not be included in base tuition fees in the next academic year.  In any academic year, the total amount of revenue raised through the surcharge shall not exceed fifteen percent of the revenue raised through base tuition fees in that academic year."

     On page 8, beginning on line 3, after "among colleges" strike all material through "percent." on line 9, and insert "and among student categories. In any academic year, the total amount of revenue raised through the surcharge shall not exceed fifteen percent of the revenue raised through base tuition fees in that academic year."

EFFECT:  Language is removed that limits tuition surcharges annually to a maximum of ten percent for resident undergraduates, twenty percent for resident graduate and first professional students and thirty percent for nonresident students.  Instead, a limit is placed on the amount of revenue that may be raised through a tuition surcharge.  That limit is fifteen percent of total tuition fees revenues in an academic year.  The surcharge may vary by student category.
