What’s in it

This bill requires the state board of regents to direct each regents institution to establish a policy whereby the tuition amount charged to students classified as residents that is charged to an undergraduate student in the student’s first academic year of enrollment will not increase in the student’s subsequent academic years of undergraduate enrollment. This requirement applies to a student’s first academic year of enrollment that begins in or after 2027. The bill provides limitations on this requirement.
