Dream Act Changes

So far I've only been able to read the Senate version of the bill, S.729, and there have been two major changes made to the bill.

The bill that was voted on by the Senate in October of 2007 and had and age limit of 30. This time the age limit has been raised to 35.

The other change is the in-state tuition language. The last bill left it up to the states to decide whether to provide in-state tuition to Dreamers or not. The new bill has the in-state tuition option. link
