Provides that the board of trustees of each university shall offer 100% tuition discounts (instead of 50% tuition waivers) for undergraduate education to the children of employees of a public university in Illinois who has been employed by any one or more of these universities for at least 7 years. Includes retired employees as university employees for the purpose of these provisions. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Board of Higher Education) For dependents of employees in FY2000, there were 1,892 waivers with a value of $2.43 million. Assuming there would have been no change in enrollment patterns if the value of the waivers were higher, the total value would have increased to $4.86 million if they had been for the full amount of tuition, rather than 50%. For dependents of retirees, it is not possible to estimate the total cost, as the number of dependents that would qualify is unknown. It would cost an estimated $295,600 in waivers for every 100 eligible persons, assuming the value of the waiver is equal to the full amount of tuition charged. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. In the University of Illinois Act provisions, includes as an Illinois public university employee a person who is employed within any of the 4 divisions of the Department of Natural Resources under the authority of the Board of Natural Resources and Conservation. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Provides that the tuition discount shall be a 50% tuition discount instead of a 100% tuition discount. Includes in the other tuition discount provisions (not just the University of Illinois Act provisions) a person who is employed within any of the 4 divisions of the Department of Natural Resources under the authority of the Board of Natural Resources and Conservation as an Illinois public university employee. Also includes as an Illinois public university employee a person who is employed with the State Universities Civil Service System or the State Universities Retirement System.
