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.
