The DREAM Act may soon be put on hold by a statewide petition effort, but community colleges are making plans for the law to go into effect as planned on July 1.
At Anne Arundel Community College, officials don't expect too many illegal immigrant students will try to take advantage of the lower tuition rates established by the DREAM Act.
"I don't think it's going to be that terribly difficult to administer," said John Grabowski, assistant dean for enrollment services at AACC. "I'm guessing there will not be hundreds of individuals. There will be a few."
The DREAM Act was one of the most controversial bills approved by state lawmakers during their 90-day General Assembly session earlier this year.
It passed by a narrow margin and was signed into law by Gov. Martin O'Malley.
