Time ran out Tuesday for a Senate committee to review a bill that would repeal in-state college tuition for undocumented students, sending it to the Senate Rules Committee. Sponsoring Rep. Glen A. Donnelson, R-North Ogden, said there will be a push - with the help of Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem - to get the bill to the Senate floor.
Dayton intends to propose two amendments, according to Donnelson.
One would allow a qualifying undocumented student to receive in-state tuition only if they signed an affidavit vowing not to work while enrolled. Donnelson said that change is intended to prevent an undocumented student from committing a felony by using forged documents to seek employment.
A second amendment would delay the effective date of the bill to Jan. 1, 2009. - Jennifer Francis
