The bill aims to prohibit the Board of Regents and the institutions it oversees from mandating that students reside in on-campus housing or purchase meal plans. This legislative change is intended to provide students with greater flexibility and choice regarding their living arrangements and dining options while attending college.

To implement this change, a new section will be added to chapter 13-53, stating that "Neither the Board of Regents nor any institution under its control may require that a student live in on-campus housing or purchase a meal plan or meal voucher." This insertion clearly outlines the new restrictions placed on the Board of Regents and its institutions, ensuring that students are not obligated to adhere to these requirements.
