1 University System of New Hampshire; Authority of Board of Trustees. Amend RSA 187-A:16, XVIII to read as follows:
XVIII.(a) Establish a differential in the rate of tuition to be charged all in-state and out-of-state students based on the dual legislative policy of:
[(a)] (1) Limiting the number of out-of-state students who may attend the university system; and
[(b)] (2) Giving due weight to the fact that the support of the university system is substantially dependent upon legislative appropriations derived from revenue contributed by persons domiciled within the state of New Hampshire.
(b) In addition to subparagraph (a), the board of trustees shall permit a student who is without lawful immigration status and files an affidavit with the institution to which the student is applying stating that he or she has filed an application to legalize his or her immigration status, or will file such application as soon as he or she is eligible, and who meets all other criteria for in-state status, to be granted in-state status. The affidavit and all other information required in this subparagraph shall be considered education records and shall be exempt from the provisions of RSA 91-A.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
