Senator Ulibarri presented House Bill 16-1178 to the committee.

Students who are classified for in-state tuition may be counted as a resident student for any purpose, including eligibility for state-funded financial aid and the College Opportunity Fund stipend. The bill applies to all state institutions of higher education except Fort Lewis College, which already provides free tuition to any Native American.
