Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System from increasing resident undergraduate student tuition by more than the increase in the consumer price index (CPI) for the previous year. The bill defines CPI as the consumer price index for all urban consumers, U.S. city average, as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor. Also, for purposes of the bill, “resident undergraduate tuition” is defined to include any differential tuition and mandatory fees charged to a resident undergraduate student.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
