Bill Summary

Undocumented immigrants financial aid and resident tuition at public postsecondary institutions authorization and appropriation

AI Summary

This bill allows undocumented immigrants who have attended a Minnesota high school for at least three years, graduated from a Minnesota high school or earned an equivalent, and have complied with selective service registration and filed an application for lawful immigration status if a federal process exists, to qualify for resident tuition rates at state universities and colleges, and also permits public postsecondary institutions to use private funds to provide financial aid to these eligible students. Additionally, the bill amends the definition of a "resident student" to include those eligible for resident tuition under the new provisions, and appropriates $100,000 for the Office of Higher Education to cover information technology costs related to implementing these changes, with a repeal of a specific Minnesota Rule also included.
