Generally, current law allows a UW System student who has been a bona fide Wisconsin resident for the 12 months preceding the beginning of a semester or session for which the student registers to pay resident, as opposed to nonresident, tuition.
This bill allows an alien who is not a legal permanent resident of the United States to pay resident, as opposed to nonresident, tuition if he or she: 1) graduated from a Wisconsin high school or received a declaration of equivalency of high school graduation from Wisconsin; 2) was continuously present in Wisconsin for at least three years following the first day of attending a Wisconsin high school or immediately preceding receipt of a declaration of equivalency of high school graduation; and 3) enrolls in a UW System institution and provides the institution with an affidavit stating that he or she has filed or will file an application for permanent residency with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as soon as the person is eligible to do so.
The bill also provides that such persons are to be considered residents of this state for purposes of admission to and payment of fees at a technical college.

DOA:......Miner, BB0320 - Increase tipping fees and change bonding funding source
For 2009-11 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2009 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Environment
Other environment
Current law imposes several fees that are based on the weight of solid waste disposed of at a landfill or other waste disposal facility. This type of fee is often called a tipping fee. Currently, the environmental repair tipping fee is $1.60 per ton of solid waste, other than mining waste and certain kinds of high-volume industrial waste. The environmental repair tipping fee is deposited into the environmental fund. This bill increases the environmental repair tipping fee to $5 per ton.
In addition, this bill changes the funding source for making the principal and interest payments on bonds issued by this state for certain water pollution abatement purposes from the general fund to the environmental fund.
Currently, the recycling tipping fee is $4 per ton of solid waste disposed of, other than certain kinds of high-volume industrial waste. The recycling tipping fee is deposited into the recycling and renewable energy fund. This bill increases the recycling tipping fee to $5 per ton.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
