This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to introduce a new requirement for institutions of higher education regarding tuition increases. A new section, Section 2007-H, mandates that if a higher education institution raises its tuition from the previous academic year, it must notify all enrolled students both electronically and by mail at least 45 days before any tuition bill is issued.
The notice must include specific information: the tuition amount from the prior academic year, the current tuition amount, and both the dollar and percentage increase in tuition. This legislation aims to enhance accountability and transparency in higher education by ensuring that students are adequately informed about changes in tuition costs. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
