PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. STUDENT ENROLLMENT FEES. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AND STATUTE.

Provides that any fee increases thereafter, until June 30, 2005, shall not exceed percentage change in California per capita personal income from preceding calendar year, unless state\u27s General Fund did not increase by at least 2.5% over the previous fiscal year. Fee limitations do not apply to nonresident students.
