Bill Summary
Requiring a state university to waive the tuition and fees for certain courses in which certain resident students are enrolled; prohibiting the reporting of tuition and fees waived for state funding purposes; providing that a state university is ineligible for a specified performance-based incentive for failure to comply, etc.
AI Summary
This bill requires state universities in Florida to waive 100% of the tuition and fees for one course in a program of strategic emphasis (such as STEM, critical workforce education, or critical workforce healthcare) for students who are Florida residents, enrolled full-time immediately after high school graduation, and earn at least 60 credit hours towards a bachelor's degree within 2 years. The waivers are limited to upper-level courses and up to 110% of the required credits for the degree program. Universities cannot report the waived tuition and fees for state funding purposes, and failure to comply will render them ineligible for the State University System Performance-Based Incentive.
