This bill approves new regulations for the South Carolina State Commission on Higher Education regarding how tuition and fee rates are determined. The primary change involves updating residency rules to align with recent state laws, specifically requiring individuals to obtain a South Carolina driver's license within 45 days of moving to the state. Additionally, the regulations reduce the number of documents needed to prove residency and aim to simplify the overall process for students and colleges. Once signed by the Governor, these changes will take effect and standardize how institutions classify student residency for billing purposes.
