Topeka ? A state senator from Johnson County has withdrawn his effort to revive a bill repealing a Kansas law that grants in-state university tuition to some illegal immigrants.

Republican Rob Olson, of Olathe, filed a motion Tuesday to bring the measure to the Senate floor. But he withdrew the motion later in the day without explanation.

Olson had been trying to pull the bill out of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, which had recommended against passing it. The House approved the repeal earlier this year.

The law allows illegal immigrants who meet certain rules to pay the lower, in-state tuition rates at the state’s public universities and colleges. The Board of Regents said 413 students enrolled under the law last fall.
