Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with various exceptions, an individual must be a resident
of this state for at least 12 months prior to any semester or session for which the
student registers at a University of Wisconsin System institution in order to be
exempt from paying nonresident tuition.
This bill requires the Board of Regents to provide a nonresident tuition
exemption to students who are the children of UW System alumni. The Board of
Regents may establish a surcharge not to exceed 20 percent of the academic fees
(tuition) charged to the students who receive this nonresident tuition exemption.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
