Prohibits public colleges and universities (those with <85% acceptance rate) from admitting undocumented students and repeals the prior in-state tuition waiver for such students who attended Florida high schools, so state higher-education institutions must now treat undocumented status as a barrier,
A Florida College System institution or a state university with an acceptance rate less than 85 percent may not accept the application of or admit an individual who is undocumented for federal immigration purposes.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a prohibition on admitting undocumented individuals to certain Florida public postsecondary institutions and deletes the prior statutory waiver of out-of-state fees for undocumented students who graduated from Florida high schools, thereby expanding state-level immigration enforcement by using admission and tuition policy as a barrier tied to federal immigration status.
