BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 3333.072 and 3345.38 of the Revised
Code be enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 3333.072. The chancellor of the Ohio board of regents,
after consulting with the state colleges and universities and with
the office of budget and management, shall adopt rules in
accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code to govern the
allocation of state capital appropriations to state colleges and
universities. In drafting the rules, the chancellor shall
incorporate the recommendations of the final report of the
commission to study higher education debt service, issued June 28,
1994, as these recommendations have been utilized and modified in
procedures developed by the chancellor and the office of budget
and management since the report was issued.
Sec. 3345.38. (A) As used in this section:
(1) "Credit plateau" means the maximum number of credits a
state university or college allows to be taken in a full course
load.
(2) "Full course load" shall be defined by the board of
trustees of each state university or college.
(3) "Overload fee" means a fee or increased tuition rate
charged to students who take credit hours in excess of a full
course load.
(4) "State university or college" has the same meaning as in
section 3345.12 of the Revised Code.
(5) "Tuition" means the amount a state university or college
charges a student to take a full course load.
(B) No state university or college shall charge an overload
fee that is greater than the quotient of the state university or
college's tuition divided by its credit plateau.
(C) No state university or college shall increase or create
any other fee it charges students to offset the limitation set by
this section on overload fees.
Section 2. That sections 205.30, 205.39.10, and 205.39.30 of
