What’s in it

This bill requires the board of regents and the board of directors of a community college to adopt rules to prohibit a regents institution or community college from classifying a student as a resident of this state for purposes of tuition and fees unless the student provides proof of United States citizenship or proof that the individual is lawfully present in the United States.
