What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits from taking effect any limitation on the amount the Board

of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System may charge for resident

undergraduate tuition unless the limitation is offset by a corresponding increase in

the amount of general purpose revenues appropriated to the Board of Regents. The

prohibition first applies beginning in the 2023-24 academic year.
