Two Republican lawmakers aim to restrict how much in-state undergraduate tuition can increase at University of Wisconsin System campuses.

Rep. Dave Murphy, R-Greeville, and Sen. André Jacque, R-De Pere, began circulating the bill for sponsorship July 24, two weeks after the UW Board of Regents voted to raise tuition for the third consecutive year.
