Permits certain students to qualify for in-State tuition at four-year public institution of higher education.

This bill allows students who earned an associate's degree from a New Jersey county college in their home county (and were treated as county residents for tuition) to qualify for in-state tuition at four-year public colleges, even if they don't meet existing high school residency requirements. To qualify, students without lawful immigration status must submit an affidavit confirming they've applied for or will apply to legalize their status. The bill requires colleges to keep all student information confidential and takes effect immediately for the next academic year. It directly affects community college transfer students who previously faced out-of-state tuition costs despite local residency.
