This bill aims to prohibit institutions of higher education from granting preferential treatment in admissions based on legacy status, which is defined as the familial relationship of an applicant to an alumnus of the institution. Specifically, the bill states that no applicant should receive any preferential consideration for admission to the institution or its academic programs due to their legacy status or their familial ties to any donor associated with the institution.

The legislation is designed to promote fairness in the admissions process by ensuring that all applicants are evaluated on their own merits rather than their familial connections. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
