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
and UWS institutions from entering into a housing or meal plan contract with a
student unless the contract is prorated to return to the student any value of the
contract that the student cannot access for more than seven days because the student
is not permitted to be present on campus or to reap the benefits of such contract for
any reason that is outside of the student's control and that is imposed by the state
or by an institution. For the purposes of the bill, it is not considered outside of the
student's control if the student is not permitted to be present on campus or to reap
the benefits of the contract because the student is subject to sanctions for student
misconduct.
The bill also requires that any housing or meal plan contract value reimbursed
to the student be accompanied by a statement detailing the amounts reimbursed and
detailing the calculations used to determine the reimbursement amounts.
