AI Summary
This bill mandates a two-year freeze on undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees for Virginia students attending public institutions of higher education, meaning these costs will remain at the rate set for the first academic term of the 2025-2026 school year. The bill amends existing law, specifically § 23.1-1301 of the Code of Virginia, which grants governing boards the power to set tuition and fees, by adding a provision to cap these charges for in-state undergraduates. This freeze is temporary and is set to expire on July 1, 2028.
