Bill > HR2490

This bill proposes to prohibit states from receiving federal financial assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act if they offer in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants that are equal to or lower than the rates charged to U.S. citizens. Specifically, the bill amends Section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 to add a new provision that would make a state ineligible for federal higher education funding if it provides discounted tuition rates to aliens who are not lawfully present in the United States. The bill defines key terms such as "Federal financial assistance" (referencing existing federal code), "institution of higher education" (using the definition from the Higher Education Act), and "State" (also referencing the Higher Education Act). If a state is determined by the Secretary of Education to be offering such tuition rates, it would lose federal financial assistance for the following fiscal year, effectively creating a financial disincentive for states to provide in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants.
