68075.7
. Notwithstanding any other law:
(a) Effective for academic terms beginning after July 1, 2015, a
student enrolled at a campus of the California Community Colleges or
the California State University who meets all of the following
requirements shall be exempt from paying nonresident tuition or any
other fee that is exclusively applicable to nonresident students:
(1) The student resides in California.
(2) The student meets the definition of "covered individual," as
that term is defined in subsection (c) of Section 3679 of Title 38 of
the United States Code, as that provision read on July 1, 2015.
(3) The student is eligible for education benefits under either
the federal Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty program (Chapter 30
(commencing with Section 3001) of Title 38 of the United States Code)
or the Post-9/11 GI Bill program (Chapter 33 (commencing with
Section 3301) of Title 38 of the United States Code), as each read on
July 1, 2015.
(b) After the expiration of the three-year period following
discharge or death as described in subsection (c) of Section 3679 of
Title 38 of the United States Code, a student who qualifies for an
exemption from paying nonresident tuition and other applicable fees
under subdivision (a) shall be deemed to maintain "covered individual"
status as long as the student remains continuously enrolled at a
campus, even if the student enrolls in multiple programs, and the
student shall continue to be exempt from paying nonresident tuition
and other fees that are exclusively applicable to nonresident
students. As used in this section, "continuously enrolled" means
enrolled for at least the fall and spring semesters of an academic
year, or for at least three of the quarters in an academic year for
an institution using the quarter system.
(c) The attendance of a community college student who is exempt
from paying nonresident tuition and other fees pursuant to this
section may be reported by the community college district of
attendance for apportionment purposes.
