The bill amends section 1009.26 of the Florida Statutes, specifically addressing the waiver of out-of-state fees for students. It removes provisions that previously allowed for the waiver of out-of-state fees for certain students, including those who are undocumented for federal immigration purposes. The deleted language outlined specific conditions that students had to meet to qualify for the waiver, such as attending a secondary school in Florida for three consecutive years before graduation and applying for enrollment within 24 months after high school graduation.
Additionally, the bill includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
