A bill for an act prohibiting an increase in the amount of tuition and mandatory fees charged to resident undergraduate students at regents institutions for a period of time and including effective date provisions.

This bill prohibits Iowa's public universities (regents institutions) from raising tuition or mandatory fees for in-state undergraduate students starting immediately upon enactment and continuing through July 1, 2031. It directly affects resident undergraduate students at these institutions by preventing any tuition or fee increases during this period. The key mechanism requires the Board of Regents to enforce this freeze, with the prohibition automatically ending on July 1, 2031. The bill takes effect as soon as it is signed into law.
