Under current law, there is appropriated to the Higher Educational Aids Board (HEAB) for higher education grants for undergraduates enrolled at least half-time in the UW System or at a tribal college in this state a sum sufficient equal to $58,345,400 in the 2012-13 fiscal year and, for fiscal years after that, a sum sufficient equal to the amount appropriated for those grants in the previous fiscal year increased by the average percentage by which the undergraduate academic fees that will be charged for the next academic year at each institution within the UW System, as estimated by HEAB, will increase from the undergraduate academic fees charged for the current academic year. This bill permits HEAB to transfer moneys appropriated for those grants between fiscal years.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
