Community colleges: nonresident tuition.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law also authorizes the establishment of community college districts, and further authorizes the operation, by these districts, of community college campuses that offer instructional services throughout the state. Existing law authorizes community college districts to admit nonresident students, and requires community college districts to charge a tuition fee to nonresident students, with specified exceptions. Existing law, until July 1, 2022, exempts from the nonresident tuition fee students who attend Lake Tahoe Community College and who have residence in one of several designated communities in Nevada, as provided. This bill would extend operation of the exemption from the nonresident tuition fee for qualifying students of Lake Tahoe Community College and related provisions indefinitely. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for Lake Tahoe Community College.
