Bill > H0051

This bill, concerning resident status for tuition purposes in Florida, adds a provision stating that a dependent child who is a United States citizen cannot be denied resident status for tuition at state colleges and universities simply because of their parent's citizenship status. It also amends existing language to clarify that the State Board of Education and the Board of Governors will adopt rules and regulations, respectively, to put this section into effect, ensuring that U.S. citizen children are not unfairly penalized for tuition purposes based on their parents' immigration or citizenship standing.
