Why the model tagged it this way: The bill deletes the existing requirement that Florida public postsecondary institutions grant out-of-state fee waivers (effectively in-state tuition) to undocumented students who meet residency-in-school criteria, thereby expanding the scope of state immigration enforcement by reducing benefits provided to unauthorized immigrants.
