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.
