 1        AN ACT in relation to higher education.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The University of Illinois Act is amended by
 5    changing Section 7g as follows:

 6        (110 ILCS 305/7g)
 7        Sec.  7g.  Tuition  waivers.   In addition to any tuition
 8    waivers that the Board of Trustees offers that are exempt  by
 9    statute from any tuition waiver limitation established by the
10    Illinois  Board of Higher Education, the Board of Trustees is
11    authorized  to  waive,  for  persons  individuals  with   the
12    requisite   athletic,  academic,  or  other  abilities,  that
13    percentage of its undergraduate tuition  that  is  authorized
14    under   the   tuition   waiver   limitation   established  in
15    regulations promulgated  by  the  Illinois  Board  of  Higher
16    Education.   If  in  any  fiscal  year  the Board of Trustees
17    issues undergraduate tuition waivers  to  individuals  in  an
18    aggregate  amount  exceeding  the  aggregate  tuition  waiver
19    amount  authorized  for  that  fiscal  year under the tuition
20    waiver limitation established by the Illinois Board of Higher
21    Education, the University's budget request for the succeeding
22    fiscal year may be reduced by the Illinois  Board  of  Higher
23    Education by an amount equal to that tuition waiver excess.
