Bill > S04760

This bill, known as "Tuition-Free 2ny," proposes to amend New York's education law to allow students admitted to state-operated institutions within the State University of New York (SUNY) system to attend without paying tuition and fees, provided they meet the program's requirements. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that enables the SUNY trustees to implement this tuition-free program for one undergraduate degree, clarifying that costs for pursuing multiple undergraduate degrees simultaneously will not be covered. To be eligible, students must qualify for resident tuition rates and commit to performing at least twenty-five hours of community service annually for each year they participate in the program, with the authority granted to institutional presidents or their designees to issue waivers for this community service requirement.
