Bill > HB176

This bill, known as the Student Fee Transparency Act, requires the University of Alaska's Board of Regents to provide enrolled students with advance notice via email about any new mandatory fees or increases to existing mandatory fees, specifying the amount, reason, and intended use of the revenue, and to do so at least 30 days before implementation when feasible; a "mandatory fee" is defined as a fee applied to all students or all students at a specific campus, excluding certain specific fees like course or parking fees. Additionally, the bill mandates that the University of Alaska must provide each enrolled student with a billing statement that clearly itemizes all tuition and fees charged, and these provisions will take effect on July 1, 2027.
