What this law does
Under Revised Statutes 17:3351.1(B)(1), the proceeds of the student technology fee must be used in accordance with a written plan the institution develops for implementing, replacing, improving and expanding technologies to benefit student life and learning, and that use must comply with any applicable provisions of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Under Revised Statutes 17:3351.1(B)(2), technologies include instructional and laboratory equipment and the networking and supporting computer and telecommunications infrastructure necessary to support these activities.
Under Revised Statutes 17:3351.1(A)(1), the boards of supervisors of Louisiana State University, the University of Louisiana System, the Community and Technical Colleges and Southern University may each provide, by a two-thirds vote of the board, for a student technology fee of five dollars per course credit hour at the institutions they supervise.
Under Revised Statutes 17:3351.1(A)(2), the governing body of the student government association at an institution must approve the assessment before the fee is assessed there. The section's history note lists Acts 1997, No. 1450, effective , and two later amending acts, and does not date the use-of-proceeds paragraph on its own.
