For once, the Thomas Library of Congress doesn't have it yet because the they haven't received it from the GPO. Secondly, when I opened the bill I realized it didn't have the date it was introduced, so anything could have happened to that bill before being introduced. Thirdly, I found gramatical mistakes. That had to be a draft or something. IDK I'll wait before I judge. I really don't like the 13 years before citizenship bs.

iv. This part is I think very important and what I have felt has been missing from the DREAM Act, you may not have committed a felony that is punishable by more then 1 year (a felony, if I recall my law class definition is any charge punishable by more then 1 year, so this basically includes all felonies). Or having committed 3 or more offenses under federal or state law punishable by at least 90 days and convicted on different dates for each of the 3 offences.

and obvious change was the decrease of age from 35 to 30, unfortunately for those

It also specifically detail the need to be compliant under the selective service act, which is overkill since its already covered in the portion I mentioned above, in fact it references the same exact law, but I guess the advantage is that its able to be seen by everyone and does not have to be researched anymore

the most regrettable change I observe is under the retroactive clause, you have to meet all the requirements under section 4(a)(1).... under that section is the age cap.

It looks like you're okay if you are accepted into college.
