HOUSE APPROVES LOWERING TUITION FOR COLORADO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT STUDENTS, BILL GOES TO GOVERNOR: A bill allowing lower tuition rates for illegal immigrant students received final approval from state House lawmakers Friday. The bill passed 40-21 and will now proceed to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign the bill. Three Republicans joined with all the Democratic lawmakers to approve the bill. Hickenlooper tweeted, “Undocumented kids will now have a fair and equitable way to pursue a higher education in CO. Well done.” The bill allows students who graduate from Colorado high schools to attend college at the in-state rate regardless of their immigration status. Currently, students in the country illegally must pay the non-resident tuition rate, which can be more than three times higher than the in-state rate.
