This bill allows enrolled members of federally recognized Indian tribes located in or partially in South Dakota to attend state universities or technical institutes tuition-free for up to four years of undergraduate study. Students must first use any federal tuition assistance they qualify for before the state covers their tuition costs. This creates a new tuition waiver program that didn't previously exist in South Dakota law.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
