I remain fully committed to seeing this bill across the finish line, ensuring that Virgin Islands students and all territorial students finally have the same access to affordable higher education as their peers across this nation.
Support legislation that guarantees in-state tuition rates for territorial students at public institutions receiving federal funds.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Del. Plaskett as an original cosponsor of H.R.6472, the Territorial Student Access to Higher Education Act, on 12/04/2025.
GovInfo's engrossed House text states H.R.6472 passed the House on 03/04/2026 and would bar higher tuition for covered territorial residents at public institutions receiving HEA assistance.
Assessments
Plaskett directly supported legislation matching the promise by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R.6472, which would guarantee in-state tuition treatment for covered territorial residents at federally assisted public institutions. The bill also passed the House on March 4, 2026. Because the promise was to support such legislation, not necessarily secure full enactment, this counts as delivered, with timing marked later_term based on the provided evidence context.
