The bill S. 356 proposes an amendment to Section 59-101-620 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to educational fee waivers at public institutions of higher learning. The amendment allows these institutions to offer educational fee waivers to no more than four percent of the undergraduate student body, while also permitting an additional four percent of waivers specifically for undergraduate South Carolina in-state students.

This change aims to increase the availability of educational fee waivers, thereby potentially benefiting more in-state students who may require financial assistance. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
