Modifies provisions relating to higher education tuition

Summary

The measure requires public‑funded Missouri colleges to consider any student who graduated from a Missouri high school (including private or home‑school) a state resident for tuition purposes, even if the student is not a U.S. citizen, provided they agree to regularize their status when eligible. It also prohibits schools from rejecting applicants solely because of their immigration status and mandates confidentiality of the information collected. Additional provisions set verification and reporting rules for public‑benefit financial aid to ensure recipients are citizens, permanent residents, or lawfully present.
