What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires technical college district boards to grant fee remissions to

resident students who meet certain requirements and who are receiving federal

funding under a federal program to provide students at technical colleges with two

years of tuition-free education. The amount of the fee remission is the difference

between the student's fees (without the remission) and the amount of federal funding

applied toward payment of these fees. The Wisconsin Technical College System

Board must make payments, from a sum sufficient general purpose revenue

appropriation, to the technical college district boards to fully fund these fee

remissions.
