A BILL FOR
SB0228 LRB099 03153 NHT 23161 b
AN ACT concerning education.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The University of Illinois Act is amended by
changing Section 7g as follows:
(110 ILCS 305/7g)
Sec. 7g. Tuition waivers. In addition to any tuition
waivers that that the Board of Trustees offers that are exempt
by statute from any tuition waiver limitation established by
the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the Board of Trustees
is authorized to waive, for individuals with the requisite
athletic, academic, or other abilities, that percentage of its
undergraduate tuition that is authorized under the tuition
waiver limitation established in regulations promulgated by
the Illinois Board of Higher Education. If in any fiscal year
the Board of Trustees issues undergraduate tuition waivers to
individuals in an aggregate amount exceeding the aggregate
tuition waiver amount authorized for that fiscal year under the
tuition waiver limitation established by the Illinois Board of
Higher Education, the University's budget request for the
succeeding fiscal year may be reduced by the Illinois Board of
Higher Education by an amount equal to that tuition waiver
excess.
