Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends various Acts relating to  the  governance  of  the  public      
   universities in Illinois.  Provides that the board of trustees of each      
   university  shall offer 100% tuition discounts (instead of 50% tuition      
   waivers) for undergraduate education to the children of employees of a      
   public university in Illinois who has been employed by any one or more      
   of  these  universities  for  at  least  7  years.   Includes  retired      
   employees as university employees for the purpose of these provisions.      
   Effective immediately.                                                      
          FISCAL NOTE (Board of Higher Education)                              
          For dependents of employees in FY2000, there were 1,892 waivers      
          with a value of $2.43 million. Assuming there would have been        
          no change in enrollment patterns if the value of the waivers         
          were higher, the total value would have increased to $4.86           
          million if they had been for the full amount of tuition, rather      
          than 50%. For dependents of retirees, it is not possible to          
          estimate the total cost, as the number of dependents that would      
          qualify is unknown. It would cost an estimated $295,600 in           
          waivers for every 100 eligible persons, assuming the value of        
          the waiver is equal to the full amount of tuition charged.           
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        In the University of Illinois  Act  provisions,  includes  as  an      
   Illinois  public  university  employee a person who is employed within      
   any of the 4 divisions of the Department of  Natural  Resources  under      
   the authority of the Board of Natural Resources and Conservation.           
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Provides that  the  tuition  discount  shall  be  a  50%  tuition      
   discount  instead  of  a 100% tuition discount.  Includes in the other      
   tuition discount provisions (not just the University of  Illinois  Act      
   provisions)  a person who is employed within any of the 4 divisions of      
   the Department of Natural Resources under the authority of  the  Board      
   of Natural Resources and Conservation as an Illinois public university      
   employee.   Also  includes as an Illinois public university employee a      
   person who is employed  with  the  State  Universities  Civil  Service      
   System or the State Universities Retirement System.
