Members of a House and Senate conference committee are expected to agree on a higher education spending bill that adds 325-million dollars to current spending on colleges and universities. Legislators are still working on the details of the 2.75-billion dollar spending plan, but some major parts of the bill have been approved. The bill does not contain a provision to allow children of illegal residents to pay in-state tuition, a provision that Governor Pawlenty said would lead him to veto the bill.
