AB805,1,2
1An Act relating to: fee remissions at technical colleges for victims of Hurricane
2Katrina.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law authorizes the director of the technical college system to allow
district boards to remit nonresident fees to a number of needy and worthy students
as long as the total number of students receiving such fee remissions in all districts
does not exceed 0.5 percent of the full-time equivalent statewide enrollment.
This bill authorizes the state director to exceed that limit in the 2005-06,
2006-07, and 2007-08 academic years in order to grant fee remissions to victims of
Hurricane Katrina.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
