What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

University of Wisconsin System while they continue to be residents of the state. This

bill creates a new exemption for students who are members of tribal entities

recognized by and eligible for funding and services from the federal Bureau of Indian

Affairs.
