Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates a nonresident tuition exemption for certain University of Wisconsin System students. Current law allows the Board of Regents of the UW System to charge different tuition rates to resident and nonresident students. Current law also includes nonresident tuition exemptions, under which certain nonresident students pay resident tuition rates. This bill creates an additional exemption for a person who has resided in this state for 12 months immediately preceding any semester or session in which they register at an institution and who is in approved deferred action status pursuant to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
