The UConn Co-Op bookstore has already offered this service in the fall semester but because of technical difficulties could not continue it for this semester.
"The Co-op is going to be providing that type of information," Co-op president William Simpson said. "We did that last fall and because of technical problems couldn't do it this spring but plan to have it remedied by next fall so we will be providing that information regardless of the legislation."
If the legislation passes through the Senate and is approved by the president, students could see the benefits by next semester, according to Wilhelm.
"We've had bills introduced to the House and Senate before and seeing the way it made it through the house the way it did, I think it's a definite possibility it will pass," Wilhelm said. "There is a chance some of the things could be cut but the important part is the bundling. I think it has a pretty good chance of passing the Senate."
