What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a nonresident tuition exemption for certain University of

Wisconsin System students. Current law allows the Board of Regents of the UW

System to charge different tuition rates to resident and nonresident students.

Current law also includes nonresident tuition exemptions, under which certain

nonresident students pay resident tuition rates. This bill creates an additional

exemption for a person who has resided in this state for 12 months immediately

preceding any semester or session in which they register at an institution and who

is in approved deferred action status pursuant to the U.S. Department of Homeland

Security's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
