For legislation relative to oversight on eligibility for tuition and fee waivers. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning oversight on eligibility for tuition and fee waivers, proposes an amendment to Section 19 of Chapter 15A of the Massachusetts General Laws. Specifically, it adds a provision stating that no full or partial waivers of tuition or fees will be granted to individuals who are not legally residing in the commonwealth unless such a waiver receives approval through a majority vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, which are the two branches of the state legislature. This change aims to increase legislative oversight on who receives these financial benefits for higher education within the state.
