A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO WAIVE THE TWELVE-MONTH DURATIONAL REQUIREMENT FOR RESIDENT TUITION STATUS FOR THE CHILDREN OF EMPLOYEES DOMICILED IN THE STATE WHO ARE ENTITLED TO BENEFITS UNDER THE TEACHERS' AND STATE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 116-143.1 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"( m)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, determination of status as a resident for tuition purposes under this section shall be made without applying the 12-month durational requirement to any dependent individual whose parent or legal guardian:
(1)	While domiciled inside or outside the State, was selected for employment rendering the parent or legal guardian eligible for enrollment in the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System; and
(2)	Is domiciled in this State and remains employed in service rendering the parent or legal guardian eligible for enrollment in the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System.
For purposes of this subsection, the term ‘dependent' has the same meaning as in 26 U.S.C. 152. For purposes of this subsection, ‘legal guardian' means a guardian of the person or a general guardian as those terms are defined in G.S. 35A-1202.
The exemption from the durational requirement granted under this subsection ceases at the end of any term in which the conditions described in subdivisions (1)	and (2) of this subsection are no longer met. Subsection (i) of this section is inapplicable to individuals granted resident tuition status under this subsection."
Sec. 2. This act becomes effective August 1, 1992.
