AN ACT concerning education.

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

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

(110 ILCS 305/7g)

Sec. 7g. Tuition waivers. In addition to any tuition waivers that that the Board of Trustees offers that are exempt by statute from any tuition waiver limitation established by the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the Board of Trustees is authorized to waive, for individuals with the requisite athletic, academic, or other abilities, that percentage of its undergraduate tuition that is authorized under the tuition waiver limitation established in regulations promulgated by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. If in any fiscal year the Board of Trustees issues undergraduate tuition waivers to individuals in an aggregate amount exceeding the aggregate tuition waiver amount authorized for that fiscal year under the tuition waiver limitation established by the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the University's budget request for the succeeding fiscal year may be reduced by the Illinois Board of Higher Education by an amount equal to that tuition waiver excess.
