A2128

Repeals law prohibiting funds for legislative agents from being assessed on student tuition bills.

This bill repeals a 1995 law that prohibited public institutions of higher education from allowing funds for legislative agents to be assessed on student tuition bills. The bill removes this restriction, allowing for optional fees for nonpartisan organizations that employ legislative agents or attempt to influence legislation, provided the fee has been authorized by a majority vote in a student referendum. The change aims to allow students participating in certain organizations to engage in state legislative activity without restriction.
