The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board shall prescribe procedures by which each institution of higher education shall provide to each student enrolled at the institution written notice regarding the availability of required or recommended textbooks through retailers other than university-affiliated bookstores. 

In other words, Bookstores (both on and off campus) that do not have the recommended text available will be required to inform the student of alternate locations of the book, including online retaliers.

Sound good?

The Bill is up for discussion this week, so drop a comment, and Let your representatives know what you think
