36.27 (2r) Minnesota-University of Wisconsin System student reciprocity agreement. (a) There is established, to be administered by the board, a Minnesota-University of Wisconsin System student reciprocity agreement, the purpose of which shall be to ensure that neither state shall profit at the expense of the other and that the determination of any amounts owed by either state under the agreement shall be based on an equitable formula that reflects the educational costs incurred by the 2 states, reflects any differentials in usage by residents of either state of the public institutions of higher education located in the other state, and reflects any differentials in the resident tuition charged at comparable public institutions of higher education of the 2 states. The board, representing this state, shall enter into an agreement meeting the requirements of this subsection with the designated body representing the state of Minnesota.

(b) The agreement under this subsection shall provide for the waiver of nonresident tuition for residents of either state who are enrolled in public institutions of higher education located in the other state. The agreement shall also establish a reciprocal fee structure for residents of either state who are enrolled in public institutions of higher education located in the other state. The reciprocal fee may not exceed the higher of the resident tuition that would be charged the student at the public institution of higher education in which the student is enrolled or the resident tuition that would be charged the student at comparable public institutions of higher education located in the student's state of residence, as specified in the annual administrative memorandum under par. (c). The agreement is subject to the approval of the joint committee on finance.

(c) Prior to each academic year, the board and the designated body representing the state of Minnesota shall prepare an administrative memorandum that establishes policies and procedures for implementation of the agreement for the upcoming academic year, including a description of how the reciprocal fee structure shall be determined for purposes of par. (b), and the board shall submit the administrative memorandum to the joint committee on finance. If the cochairpersons of the committee do not notify the board that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the administrative memorandum within 14 working days after the date of the submittal, the administrative memorandum may be implemented as proposed by the board. If, within 14 working days after the date of the submittal, the cochairpersons of the committee notify the board that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the administrative memorandum, the administrative memorandum may be implemented only upon approval of the committee.

(d) No resident of this state whose name appears on the statewide support lien docket under s. 49.854 (2) (b) may receive a waiver of nonresident tuition under this subsection unless the resident provides to the board a payment agreement that has been approved by the county child support agency under s. 59.53 (5) and that is consistent with rules promulgated under s. 49.858 (2) (a).

(e) At the end of each semester or academic term, the board and the designated body representing the state of Minnesota shall determine the number of students for whom nonresident tuition has been waived under the agreement. The board and the designated body representing the state of Minnesota shall certify to each other, in addition to the number of students so determined, the aggregate amount of its reimbursement obligation. The entity with the larger reimbursement obligation shall pay as provided in the agreement an amount determined by subtracting the reimbursement obligation of the entity with the smaller reimbursement obligation from the reimbursement obligation of the entity with the larger reimbursement obligation. The agreement shall provide a reasonable date for payment of any such sums due and owing, after which date interest may be charged on the amount owed. The methodology for determination of the appropriate interest rate shall be included in the agreement. All tuition and fees received by this state under this subsection and any net obligations received under this paragraph shall be credited to the appropriation account under s. 20.285 (1) (gb).

(f) In allocating funding for each institution under s. 36.09 (1) (h), the board shall ensure that each institution is allocated the amounts received pursuant to par. (e) in proportion to the total amount each institution charged its students with Minnesota residence in tuition and fees under the agreement under this subsection.

39.42 Interstate agreements. The board, with the approval of the joint committee on finance, or the governing boards of any publicly supported institution of post-high school education, with the approval of the board and the joint committee on finance, may enter into agreements or understandings which include remission of nonresident tuition for designated categories of students at state institutions of higher education with appropriate state agencies and institutions of higher education in other states to facilitate use of public higher education institutions of this state and other states. Such agreements and understandings shall have as their purpose the mutual improvement of educational advantages for residents of this state and such other states or institutions of other states with which agreements are made. This section does not apply to the agreement under s. 36.27 (2r).
