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.
