Kansas Lawmakers Pass Bill Ending In-State Tuition for Undocumented Immigrants
Kansas lawmakers have passed a bill, Senate Bill two fifty-four, ending in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants at public colleges and universities. The bill also mandates proof of citizenship or legal status for anyone seeking state or local benefits. The measure cleared the House and Senate, sending it to Governor Laura Kelly for her decision. The policy, in place since 2004, allowed undocumented students who met certain criteria to qualify for lower in-state rates. Opposition came from Democrats and some Republicans, who argued it was unfair to students brought to the U.S. as children. Supporters contend it protects taxpayers, while critics warn of potential lawsuits. The bill now faces a test with the governor, who could veto it.
