Permits persons 65 years of age to enroll in a limited number of state university and city university courses for credit without tuition

This bill allows New York residents aged 65 or older to enroll in up to nine credit hours per semester at state universities and the City University of New York (CUNY) without paying tuition. It modifies existing education law to permit these individuals to take courses for credit (not just auditing) on a space-available basis, subject to institutional availability. The policy applies specifically to residents who are 65 or older and does not require examinations, grading, or affect enrollment for other qualified students. The change updates prior provisions that only allowed free auditing of courses for those 60+ without credit.
