Modifies provisions relating to higher education tuition
HB 741 changes Missouri's higher education tuition rules to allow students who graduated from a Missouri high school (public, private, or home school) to be treated as in-state residents for tuition purposes, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Non-citizen students must provide a written statement agreeing to regularize their immigration status when eligible. The bill prohibits public colleges and universities from denying admission based solely on immigration status and requires confidentiality for any information collected under this policy.
