Session Year 2024
Overview: Part II of S.L. 2026-9 (House Bill 1123), as amended by Section 2.6 of S.L. 2026-42 (House Bill 56), requires an applicant to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) to either (i) receive a determination by the Residency Determination Service that the applicant has established a domicile in North Carolina and maintained a domicile in North Carolina for at least 12 months, or (ii) be a child of an active duty member of the Armed Forces who is living in the State incident to active military duty.
