El Maryland "Dream Act" ha pasado por el voto popular. Ahora es la ley de Maryland. En esencia, el "Dream Act" permite a los estudiantes inmigrantes indocumentados que califican para acceder a otros estados en las tasas de matrícula de la universidad, así como ayuda financiera del estado.
Although the Maryland "Dream Act" gets its name from the more commonly-discussed federal legislation on the subject, this state law is far more limited in scope of relief.
For instance, the proposed federal "Dream Act" legislation, if passed, would provide a process or pathway to citizenship for qualifying undocumented young people who attend college or serve in the military. The Maryland "Dream Act", however, does not address the issue of citizenship at all.
The Maryland "Dream Act" does, however, allow certain undocumented students to better access state funding for higher education.
To qualify for the Maryland "Dream Act", undocumented students need to have attended a Maryland high school for at least three (3) years and be able to prove that their parents or themselves have paid taxes.
Initially, under Maryland's new law, students that qualify would be required to attend a community college. However, after two years of community college, the students can transfer to a 4-year university. According to some reports, the new law is estimated to cost the state $3.5 million by 2016. It was approved by a 58.3% to 41.7% popular vote.
