SB 156 allows enrolled members of federally recognized tribes to attend South Dakota public universities and colleges tuition-free, eliminating their obligation to pay tuition and mandatory fees. This change amends the existing higher education funding law to create a new category of students who receive free attendance at these institutions based on tribal enrollment status.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
