The bill amends section 1009.26 of the Florida Statutes, specifically addressing the waiver of out-of-state fees for students at state universities, Florida College System institutions, and career centers. It deletes 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 bill removes specific eligibility criteria that these students had to meet, 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 introduces a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
