Community colleges: nonresident tuition: foreign citizens.

Existing law requires a community college district to charge a nonresident tuition fee to nonresident students, with certain exceptions. Existing law requires the fee to be set according to a formula that, with other modifications, divides the expense of education in the district by the number of full-time equivalent students, as defined, attending in the district in the preceding fiscal year. Existing law also authorizes a community college district to charge an additional fee in addition to the nonresident tuition fee to nonresident students who are both citizens and residents of a foreign county. The additional fee may be as high as the amount that was expended by the district for capital outlay in the preceding fiscal year divided by the total full-time equivalent students of the district in the preceding year, so long as the fee does not exceed 50% of the nonresident tuition fee. This bill would instead authorize a community college district to charge the additional fee to any nonresident student by deleting the condition that the nonresident be a citizen and resident of a foreign country. This bill would delete an obsolete reference.
