A bill was introduced on today by a Maryland delegate, that will help students and their families plan better for college tuition long term.
Heather R. Mizeur introduced the bill that will give fixed rates for student tuition. The proposed bill will allow a long-term plan for students in public universities in Maryland, which will be one of the first states to institute the bill.
The Maryland Truth in Tuition Act is a model of an act proposed a few years ago in Illinois.
House Speaker Michael E. Busch and Del. John L. Bohanan Jr., are among the few that support the bill.
If this bill passes, students will no longer need to worry about tuition changes. This bill will cause less stress, less confusion and less adjustment for families.
While on the plan, participants only need to raise enough money to pay for the fixed income. The rates will be consistent, which families need regarding tuition.
