 1        AN ACT in relation to education.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The University of Illinois Act is amended  by
 5    changing Section 7g as follows:

 6        (110 ILCS 305/7g)
 7        Sec.  7g.  Tuition  waivers.   In addition to any tuition
 8    waivers that the Board of Trustees offers that are exempt  by
 9    statute from any tuition waiver limitation established by the
10    Illinois  Board of Higher Education, the Board of Trustees is
11    authorized to  waive,  for  individuals  with  the  requisite
12    athletic,  academic,  or  other abilities, that percentage of
13    its  undergraduate  tuition  that  is  authorized  under  the
14    tuition  waiver   limitation   established   in   regulations
15    promulgated by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.  If in
16    any  fiscal  year  the Board of Trustees issues undergraduate
17    tuition  waivers  to  individuals  in  an  aggregate   amount
18    exceeding  the aggregate tuition waiver amount authorized for
19    that  fiscal  year  under  the  tuition   waiver   limitation
20    established  by  the  Illinois Board of Higher Education, the
21    University's budget request for the  succeeding  fiscal  year
22    may  be  reduced by the Illinois Board of Higher Education by
23    an amount equal to that tuition waiver excess.
