What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The bill prohibits the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System

from charging resident undergraduate academic fees in the 2024-25 academic year

that are more than the fees charged in the 2023-24 academic year—this is commonly

referred to as a “tuition freeze.” The freeze is funded by increasing the appropriation

to the UW System for general program operations by $38,000,000 in fiscal year

2024-25.
