Revise laws related to tuition waiver laws for American Indian students

This bill updates Montana state law to clarify tuition waiver eligibility for American Indian students and their descendants. It requires that descendants of federally recognized tribes must obtain formal certification of their tribal affiliation from the tribe before receiving tuition waivers, while maintaining existing eligibility criteria for individuals with at least one-fourth Indian blood or enrolled status. The legislation also mandates that the Montana Secretary of State send a copy of the updated law to all federally recognized tribal governments in the state. These changes take effect on July 1, 2025, and apply to students enrolled in the Montana university system.
