STUDENT/TUITION: Authorizes, with limitations, public postsecondary education management boards to establish and increase student tuition and mandatory fees (EN INCREASE SG RV See Note)

HB 862 authorizes public postsecondary education management boards to set and raise tuition and mandatory fees for students, with specific limits on how much they can increase. A key provision requires that any payments or waivers related to mandatory fees (excluding tuition) must be included in the compensation packages for graduate students working as teaching, research, or curatorial assistants. The bill also includes several technical amendments that renumber list items and remove certain text regarding effective dates. These changes aim to clarify how public colleges and universities can manage their funding while ensuring graduate assistant compensation remains consistent with fee policies.
