Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. letter to B. M., March 18, 1992

Legislative Address: Robert L. Ehrlich. Jr. TENTH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT BALTIMORE COUNTY JUDICIARY COMMITTEE GOVERNOR'S COUNCIL ON CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT RYLAND JUVENILE JUSTICE ADVISORY COUNCIL ЛШИ! House of Delegates Annapolis . Maryland 21401-1991 (JANUARY • APRIL) 309 LOWE BUILDING ANNAPOLIS. MARYLAND 21401-1991 LEGISLATIVE PHONE: (410)841-3350 Home Address: 5 ELPHIN COURT. *102 March 18, 1992 Thank you for your letter regarding the Tuition Waiver Program. As you know, the Butta Commission on Efficiency and Economy in Government has recommended that the state's institutions review their programs with an eye toward reducing or eliminating the waivers completely. The Commission did not, however, recommend legislation to that effect. At this time, only the University of Maryland System (UMS) has taken any action on the Commission's recommendation. UMS has revised their program so that children and dependents of faculty and employees do not become eligible for the tuition waiver until the family's faculty member or employee has worked at the institution for two (2) years. Finally, there were at least two bills introduced this session which, if enacted, would affect tuition waivers. House Bill 68 and House Bill 606 failed to pass the House and are now no threat to the Tuition Waiver Program. If I can be of further assistance on this or any other issue, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards. Sincerely, Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
