A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT CERTAIN IMMIGRANTS BE TREATED AS STATE RESIDENTS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE TUITION PURPOSES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115D-39 reads as rewritten:
"§ 115D-39.  Student tuition and fees.
The State Board of Community Colleges shall fix and regulate all tuition and fees charged to students for applying to or attending any institution pursuant to this Chapter.
The receipts from all student tuition and fees, other than student activity fees, shall be State funds and shall be deposited as provided by regulations of the State Board of Community Colleges.
The legal resident limitation with respect to tuition, set forth in G.S. 116-143.1 and G.S. 116-143.3, shall apply to students attending institutions operating pursuant to this Chapter; provided, however, that when an employer other than the armed services, as that term is defined in G.S. 116-143.3, pays tuition for an employee to attend an institution operating pursuant to this Chapter and when the employee works at a North Carolina business location, the employer shall be charged the in-State tuition rate.  A refugee immigrant who lawfully entered the United States and who is living in this State shall be deemed to qualify as a domiciliary of this State under G.S. 116-143.1(a)(1) and as a State resident for community college tuition purposes as defined in G.S. 116-143.1(a)(2)."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification.
