Bill Summary

For legislation relative to in-state tuition retention for UMMS. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 75 of the General Laws to allow the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) to keep all the in-state tuition and mandatory general attendance fees it collects from students, with the exception of health insurance charges. This means that the tuition and fees paid by Massachusetts residents attending UMMS will now be retained by the university itself, rather than potentially being directed elsewhere within the state's general fund.
