 1        AN ACT regarding higher education.

 2        Whereas, individual  Illinois  public  universities  have
 3    discretion  to  formulate  their  own  specific  policies  on
 4    in-state  tuition  for  military  personnel  whose  state  of
 5    residence is not Illinois; and

 6        Whereas,   Illinois   public  universities  have  adopted
 7    generous policies for soldiers and family members within  the
 8    state of legal residence and in the state of assignment; and

 9        Whereas,  these  policies currently exclude continuity of
10    in-state tuition for military personnel and their  dependents
11    once established; and

12        Whereas, the General Assembly urges the Board of Trustees
13    of  each  public  university  in  the State to adopt a policy
14    ensuring that changes in permanent duty station to  locations
15    outside  of  this  State shall not affect the rate of tuition
16    that the member or his or her dependent is receiving as  long
17    as  the  person  is  continuously enrolled at the university;
18    therefore

19        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
20    represented in the General Assembly:
