   90         Section 46. Paragraphs (a), (b), and (e) of subsection (4)
   91  and paragraph (b) of subsection (16) of section 1009.24, Florida

  108  All Items, or successor reports as reported by the United States
  109  Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or its
  110  successor for December of the previous year. In the event the
  111  percentage change is negative, the resident undergraduate
  112  tuition shall remain at the same level as the prior fiscal year.
  113         (d)(e) The sum of the activity and service, health, and
  114  athletic fees a student is required to pay to register for a
  115  course may shall not exceed 40 percent of the tuition
  116  established in law or in the General Appropriations Act. No
  117  university shall be required to lower any fee in effect on the
  118  effective date of this act in order to comply with this
  119  subsection. Within the 40 percent cap, universities may not
  120  increase the aggregate sum of activity and service, health, and
  121  athletic fees more than 5 percent per year, or the same
  122  percentage increase in tuition authorized under paragraph (b),
  123  whichever is greater, unless specifically authorized in law or
  124  in the General Appropriations Act. A university may increase its
  125  athletic fee to defray the costs associated with changing
  126  National Collegiate Athletic Association divisions. Any such
  127  increase in the athletic fee may exceed both the 40 percent cap
  128  and the 5 percent cap imposed by this subsection. Any such
  129  increase must be approved by the athletic fee committee in the
  130  process outlined in subsection (12) and may not cannot exceed $2

  133  athletic fee pursuant to this subsection which that causes the
  134  sum of the activity and service, health, and athletic fees to
  135  exceed the 40 percent cap or the annual increase in such fees to
  136  exceed the 5 percent cap may shall not be included in
  137  calculating the amount a student receives for a Florida Academic
  138  Scholars award, a Florida Medallion Scholars award, or a Florida
  139  Gold Seal Vocational Scholars award. Notwithstanding this
  140  paragraph and subject to approval by the board of trustees, each
  141  state university may is authorized to exceed the 5 percent 5
  142  percent cap on the annual increase to the aggregate sum of
  143  activity and service, health, and athletic fees for the 2010
  144  2011 fiscal year. Any such increase may shall not exceed 15
  145  percent or the amount required to reach the 2009-2010 fiscal
  146  year statewide average for the aggregate sum of activity and
  147  service, health, and athletic fees at the main campuses,
  148  whichever is greater. The aggregate sum of the activity and
  149  service, health, and athletic fees may shall not exceed 40
  150  percent of tuition. Any increase in the activity and service
  151  fee, health fee, or athletic fee must be approved by the
  152  appropriate fee committee pursuant to subsection (10),
  153  subsection (11), or subsection (12).
  154         (16) Each university board of trustees may establish a
  155  tuition differential for undergraduate courses upon receipt of
  156  approval from the Board of Governors. The tuition differential
  157  shall promote improvements in the quality of undergraduate
  158  education and shall provide financial aid to undergraduate
  159  students who exhibit financial need.
  160         (b) Each tuition differential is subject to the following
  161  conditions:
  162         1. The tuition differential may be assessed on one or more
  163  undergraduate courses or on all undergraduate courses at a state
  164  university.
  165         2. The tuition differential may vary by course or courses,
  166  campus or center location, and by institution. Each university
  167  board of trustees shall strive to maintain and increase
  168  enrollment in degree programs related to math, science, high
  169  technology, and other state or regional high-need fields when
  170  establishing tuition differentials by course.

  175  reported annually to the National Science Foundation, the
  176  aggregate sum of tuition and the tuition differential may not be
  177  increased by no more than 6 15 percent of the total charged for
  178  the aggregate sum of these fees in the preceding fiscal year if
  179  the university meets or exceeds each performance standard target
  180  for that university established annually by the Board of
  181  Governors for the following performance standards, each
  182  amounting to no more than a 2 percent increase in tuition
  183  differential:
  184         a. Increase in the 6-year graduation rate for full-time,
  185  first-time-in-college students, as reported annually to the
  186  Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System;

  191  development expenditures for all fields of less than $100
  192  million per year as reported annually to the National Science
  193  Foundation, the aggregate sum of tuition and the tuition
  194  differential may not be increased by more than 15 percent of the
  195  total charged for the aggregate sum of these fees in the
  196  preceding fiscal year.
  197         4. The aggregate sum of undergraduate tuition and fees per
  198  credit hour, including the tuition differential, may not exceed
  199  the national average of undergraduate tuition and fees at 4-year
  200  degree-granting public postsecondary educational institutions.
  201         5. The tuition differential shall not be included in any
  202  award under the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program
  203  established pursuant to ss. 1009.53-1009.538.
  204         6. Beneficiaries having prepaid tuition contracts pursuant
  205  to s. 1009.98(2)(b) which were in effect on July 1, 2007, and
  206  which remain in effect, are exempt from the payment of the
  207  tuition differential.
  208         7. The tuition differential may not be charged to any
  209  student who was in attendance at the university before July 1,
  210  2007, and who maintains continuous enrollment.
  211         8. The tuition differential may be waived by the university
  212  for students who meet the eligibility requirements for the
  213  Florida public student assistance grant established in s.
  214  1009.50.
  215         9. Subject to approval by the Board of Governors, the
  216  tuition differential authorized pursuant to this subsection may
  217  take effect with the 2009 fall term.
  218         Section 47. Subsection (8) of section 1009.26, Florida
  219  Statutes, is amended, and subsection (12) is added to that
  220  section, to read:

  371         Section 49. Subsection (10) of section 1011.80, Florida
  372  Statutes, is amended to read:
  373         1011.80 Funds for operation of workforce education
  374  programs.—
  375         (10) A high school student dually enrolled under s.
  376  1007.271 in a workforce education program operated by a Florida
  377  College System institution or school district career center
  378  generates the amount calculated for workforce education funding,
  379  including any payment of performance funding, and the
  380  proportional share of full-time equivalent enrollment generated
  381  through the Florida Education Finance Program for the student’s
  382  enrollment in a high school. If a high school student is dually
  383  enrolled in a Florida College System institution program,
  384  including a program conducted at a high school, the Florida
  385  College System institution earns the funds generated for
  386  workforce education funding, and the school district earns the
  387  proportional share of full-time equivalent funding from the
  388  Florida Education Finance Program. If a student is dually
  389  enrolled in a career center operated by the same district as the
  390  district in which the student attends high school, that district
  391  earns the funds generated for workforce education funding and
  392  also earns the proportional share of full-time equivalent
  393  funding from the Florida Education Finance Program. If a student
  394  is dually enrolled in a workforce education program provided by
  395  a career center operated by a different school district, the
  396  funds must be divided between the two school districts
  397  proportionally from the two funding sources. A student may not
  398  be reported for funding in a dual enrollment workforce education
  399  program unless the student has completed the basic skills
  400  assessment pursuant to s. 1004.91. A student who is coenrolled
  401  in a K-12 education program and an adult education program may
  402  be reported for purposes of funding in an adult education
  403  program. If a student is coenrolled in core curricula courses
  404  for credit recovery or dropout prevention purposes and does not
  405  have a pattern of excessive absenteeism or habitual truancy or a
  406  history of disruptive behavior in school, the student may be
  407  reported for funding for up to two courses per year. Such a
  408  student is exempt from the payment of the block tuition for
  409  adult general education programs provided in s. 1009.22(3)(c) s.
  410  1009.22(3)(d). The Department of Education shall develop a list
  411  of courses to be designated as core curricula courses for the
  412  purposes of coenrollment.
  413         Section 50. A dependent child who is a citizen of the
  414  United States of America may not be denied residency
  415  classification for tuition purposes based solely on the parent’s
  416  undocumented immigration status. All applicable laws apply.
