SB 360: Resident Status for Tuition Purposes
SB 360 prevents students from losing their in-state tuition status at public colleges or universities solely due to incarceration or certain other circumstances. This directly affects individuals who are incarcerated or face similar situations that might otherwise trigger a loss of residency for tuition purposes. The bill's key provision ensures that a person’s residency status for tuition eligibility remains intact regardless of their incarceration status or other specified factors.
