The fee may be used only for the purpose of financing, constructing, operating, maintaining, improving, and equipping a health and wellness center at the University of Houston-Victoria. A fee charged under this section is in addition to any use or service fee authorized to be charged under other law.
(b) The health and wellness center fee may not be charged unless the charging of the fee is approved by a majority vote of the students enrolled at the university participating in a general student election held for that purpose.
(c) The amount of a fee charged under this section may not exceed:
(1) $150 per student for each regular semester;
(2) $100 per student for each summer session of 10 weeks or longer; or
(3) $50 per student for each summer session of less than 10 weeks.
(d) Revenue from a fee charged under this section shall be deposited to the credit of an account known as the University of Houston-Victoria Health and Wellness Center Fee Account under the control of the university's student fee advisory committee. Annually, the committee shall submit to the president of the university its recommendation for any change to the amount of the fee and a complete and itemized budget for the health and wellness center together with a complete report of all health and wellness center activities conducted during the past year and all expenditures made in connection with those activities. The president shall submit the budget to the board of regents as part of the university's institutional budget. The board of regents may make changes in the budget that the board determines are necessary.
(e) The board of regents may increase the amount of a fee charged under this section, except that a fee increase by 10 percent or more of the amount of the fee charged during the preceding academic year must be approved by a majority vote of students enrolled at the university participating in a general student election held for that purpose. The ballot proposition for an election under this subsection must clearly state the amount of the proposed fee increase and describe the reason for the proposed fee increase.
(f) The health and wellness center fee is not considered in determining the maximum amount of student services fees that may be charged under Section 54.503.
(g) For purposes of determining whether to waive the imposition of the fee as provided under Section 54.5035, a student is not reasonably able to use the health and wellness center for which a fee is imposed under this section if the student lives more than 50 miles outside the corporate limits of Victoria, Texas.
