Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 15-1626, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to the Arizona board of regents.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law concerning the powers and duties of the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state's public universities. Primarily, it introduces new restrictions on how the board can increase tuition and mandatory fees for resident undergraduate students. Specifically, if the legislature appropriates at least fifty percent of the tuition and mandatory fees for resident students, any tuition or fee increase for a resident undergraduate student cannot exceed the prior year's percentage change in the metropolitan Phoenix consumer price index, and tuition or fees cannot be increased for an undergraduate student during their first four consecutive years of enrollment. The bill also makes minor adjustments to the list of enumerated powers the board can delegate and references to specific subsections within the law.
