- In 2002, Utah legislature passed a law that effectively changed the Utah state code, extending higher education in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants living and attending high school in Utah. The bill was presented in the 2002 general session of the Utah Legislature, and passed in the same session. According to the state code there are three main requirements to qualify for the in-state tuition: attending a Utah high school for three or more years, graduating or receiving an equivalent certification from a school in Utah, and taking steps to gain lawful immigration status. There have been multiple attempts to repeal the alteration but each attempt has failed, and undocumented immigrants continue to attend college at an in-state tuition rate. In 2019 immigrants made up 8.4% of the population, and as a result of this state code 13% of college students were undocumented immigrants. There have been movements to expand the rights of undocumented immigrants beyond the limits of the state code, including a push for the ability to practice law in Utah. (en)
