SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Birth certificate required for admission to public institutions of higher education; report.  Provides that each public institution in Virginia must require first-time entering freshmen, upon admission, to submit a certified copy of their birth certificate, or an affidavit in the absence of the birth certificate, noting the place and country of birth. Students who fail to submit a certified birth certificate or an affidavit are ineligible for reduced in-state tuition and other state financial aid. Each institution must report this information, without disclosing personally identifiable information, on its website and to the State Council of Higher Education, and make written copies of the information available upon request. The Council must report the aggregate number of such students by place and country of birth on its website.  This bill was incorporated into HB 14 (Peace).
