ABOR; civil rights; biennial audits

HB 2829 amends Arizona's Board of Regents (ABOR) authority over university governance, primarily focusing on tuition and fee policies. It establishes a 145-credit-hour threshold for undergraduate tuition classification (excluding specific exemptions like transfer credits), requires public hearings for tuition increases, and mandates annual reporting to the legislature on students exceeding this threshold. The bill also creates separate tuition subaccounts for universities to manage revenue transparently, prohibiting use of tuition funds for alumni associations. These changes directly affect Arizona's public university students, administrators, and the legislature through enhanced transparency in pricing decisions. (Note: The title mentions "civil rights" and "biennial audits," but the provided text does not address these elements.)
