South Dakota's public universities can no longer require students to live in on-campus housing or buy meal plans after their first year of attendance. Currently, the Board of Regents and its institutions can mandate these requirements for all students; this bill limits that power to first-year students only. This change allows upperclassmen more freedom to choose where they live and how they eat while attending a state university.
