Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Senate Bill 896 clarify how funds will be managed for the Minnesota-Wisconsin student reciprocity agreement, which allows students from Minnesota to attend schools in Wisconsin without having to pay higher nonresident tuition fees. Specifically, the bill now states that payments connected to this agreement will be credited to a specific fund, ensuring that any necessary reimbursements are appropriately covered. This change is important because it establishes a clear financial structure, helping to support students who benefit from this tuition waiver and ensuring the agreement is financially sustainable.
