Bill > HB0177

This bill amends existing Utah law to grant resident student status for tuition purposes to students participating in their institution's Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program, provided they are also eligible to enlist in a branch of the U.S. military. ROTC is a college program that trains students to become commissioned officers in the U.S. Armed Forces. This change expands the categories of individuals automatically eligible for in-state tuition rates, which are generally lower than out-of-state rates, at state institutions of higher education, alongside existing provisions for military personnel, veterans, and their families. The bill also specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026.
