AB 1555: Community colleges: exemption from nonresident tuition fee: College of the Siskiyous.

This bill aims to exempt students from paying nonresident tuition fees at a specific community college in California if they reside in certain counties in Oregon. The exemption would allow students to attend the college without paying the nonresident tuition fee, which is typically charged to out-of-state students. To implement this exemption, the governing board of the community college district would need to adopt rules and regulations for determining a student's residence classification and establishing procedures for appeals and reviews. The bill also prohibits more than 200 students from being exempted from payment of the nonresident tuition fee each academic year. Additionally, the bill makes legislative findings and declarations regarding the necessity of a special statute for this specific community college with respect to students who reside in nearby counties in Oregon.
