HB 1186 allows enrolled members of Indian tribes to attend South Dakota public universities and technical schools without paying tuition. This creates a tuition-free pathway for tribal members who meet other admission requirements, while the state institutions would still receive their regular funding through the appropriations process.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
