Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would prevent people who are in the United States without legal immigration status from being classified as Kentucky residents for tuition purposes at public colleges and universities. It would also require those schools to collect student immigration data and share it with federal immigration enforcement, ban so-called sanctuary policies at public campuses, and allow lawsuits against schools if an undocumented student is enrolled and later commits a violent crime. Who it may affect: students without legal immigration status attending or seeking to attend Kentucky public colleges and universities, and administrators and staff at those institutions.
