Representative Neave submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:

With respect to the Schaefer amendment, I disagree with the method by which Mr. Schaefer seeks to address rising tuition for Texas college students. However, I believe we must strive to make Texas public colleges and universities more affordable for Texas families and students, especially first-generation Texas college students. The pathway to economic opportunity runs through our colleges and universities. Opening the doors for more Texas families to access higher education, especially students of color whom are now the majority in our Texas public schools, should be of the utmost importance to expanding our Texas economy.
