LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 454, as introduced, Knight. Public postsecondary education:
exemption from nonresident tuition.

Existing law requires that a person, other than a nonimmigrant
alien, as defined, who has attended high school in California for 3
or more years, who has graduated from a California high school or
attained the equivalent thereof, who has registered at or attends an
accredited institution of higher education in California not earlier
than the fall semester or quarter of the 2001-02 academic year, and
who, if he or she is an alien without lawful immigration status, has
filed an affidavit as specified, be exempt from paying nonresident
tuition at the California Community Colleges and the California State
University. The act enacting that exemption made related legislative
findings and declarations.

This bill would repeal the exemption and those legislative
findings and declarations.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
