The bill aims to prohibit the Board of Regents and the institutions it oversees from mandating that students live in on-campus housing or purchase meal plans or meal vouchers. This new provision is intended to provide students with greater flexibility in their housing and meal choices while attending college.

Specifically, the bill introduces a new section to chapter 13-53, stating that neither the Board of Regents nor any institution under its control may impose such requirements on students. This change reflects a shift towards accommodating diverse student needs and preferences regarding their living arrangements and dining options.
