ANNAPOLIS – Bills heard before a House panel on Wednesday would require colleges in the University System of Maryland to report how many illegal immigrants attended each year and to cap the number of out-of-state students allowed at state schools.

Sponsor Del. Neil Parrott, R-Washington County, said the bills were intended to bring some accountability to the Maryland Dream Act, which was approved by voters in November and grants in-state tuition to some illegal immigrants living in Maryland.
