Plain-English Summary

This proposal would prevent states from offering in-state tuition rates to students who are in the country illegally, requiring them to pay the higher out-of-state tuition instead. The bill would affect undocumented immigrants seeking higher education and states that currently allow in-state tuition for this population. It's currently being reviewed by committees in Congress to determine whether it should move forward for a vote.
