Bill > LR261

This resolution directs the Appropriations Committee of the Nebraska Legislature to conduct an interim study examining the fiscal impact of unfunded, statutorily mandated tuition and fee waivers on the state's public higher education institutions, specifically targeting public universities, state colleges, community colleges, and the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education. The study aims to investigate the financial burden created by mandatory tuition and fee waivers that are not accompanied by corresponding funding. Upon completing the study, the Appropriations Committee is required to prepare a comprehensive report detailing its findings and recommendations, which will be submitted to either the Legislative Council or the full Legislature for further consideration and potential action.
