Governor Signed
Summary
The bill revises the makeup of the state Higher Education Commission by creating two non‑voting student members – one from a four‑year university and one from a community/technical college – and sets new residency, political‑party, disability and racial‑ethnic diversity requirements. It also amends the advisory committee to require at least twelve members, including faculty, student and parent representatives, and directs the commission to adopt policies on student fees. The changes take effect after the 2026 legislative session unless a referendum blocks them.
