What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan 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.
