HF 135: Providing for a waiver of tuition and mandatory fees at regents institutions and community colleges for certain sanitation workers and their children

What it does

This bill requires regents institutions and community colleges to waive tuition and mandatory fees for a person employed as a sanitation worker, as defined in the bill, for at least one year within the previous five years and for the child of such a person. The institution or college may require that documentation of such employment be provided in order to qualify for such a waiver. The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code section 25B.3. The bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill.
