Yesterday’s vote was 25-12.
The bill permits this group of residents, who are not citizens, to attend state colleges and universities at the cheaper in-state rate. The Assembly passed a similar bill, but the Assembly version does not include a provision allowing undocumented students to receive financial aid.
