HB191 • The House voted by a wide margin Monday to repeal in-state tuition for undocumented students who can’t, through a parent or legal guardian, prove they have paid state taxes for three consecutive years.
Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman, had fought to repeal the in-state tuition rates for the entire undocumented population, but agreed to compromise with an amendment offered by Rep. Todd Kiser, R-Sandy, who chose to include undocumented students who were paying taxes through a job or whose parents were gainfully employed and paying taxes in Utah.
