STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Fourteen
AN ACT relative to university system of New Hampshire in-state tuition rates for students domiciled in New Hampshire.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 University System of New Hampshire; Authority of Board of Trustees; In-state Tuition. Amend RSA 187-A:16, XIX to read as follows:
XIX. Adopt rules pursuant to RSA 541-A establishing criteria for determining whether students shall be classified as in-state students or out-of-state students for tuition purposes, and to delegate the administration of such rules to a subcommittee or agent; provided that a student who establishes his or her domicile in New Hampshire shall immediately after establishing such domicile be eligible for in-state tuition rates when attending the university system of New Hampshire. Any student in the university system who is aggrieved by a final determination of the board of trustees or of any subcommittee or agent of the board denying in-state status for tuition purposes may appeal to the superior court in the county in which the particular division of the university involved is located. Such appeal shall be filed within 30 days after the final determination by the board of trustees. In the superior court, the burden of proof shall be on the appellant to show that the determination of the board of trustees is unreasonable or unlawful and all findings by the board or its properly designated subcommittee or agent shall be deemed to be prima facie lawful and reasonable. The determination of the board of trustees shall be set aside only if, on all the evidence, the court is satisfied that it is unlawful or unreasonable according to the policy as set forth in this section, and additional criteria as may be established and published, to the student bodies of the institutions constituting the university system by the board of trustees.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
