Bills that would make illegal immigrants eligible for in-state college tuition have passed both chambers of Virginia’s state legislation.

House Bill 1547, which has been pushed by its Democratic sponsor Del. Alfonso Lopez for nine consecutive years, passed the House on Feb. 12 in a vote of 56–44. The Senate version of the bill passed in a party-line vote of 21–19.
