AI Summary
This bill, known as the Welcome Back to My Old Kentucky Home Initiative, amends existing Kentucky law to require the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), the state agency responsible for overseeing public colleges and universities, to consider individuals born in Kentucky as Kentucky residents for tuition and admission purposes within the state's postsecondary education system. This change aims to ensure that individuals with a direct connection to the state through birth are recognized as residents, potentially making higher education more accessible and affordable for them.
