This bill approves new regulations for the South Carolina State Commission on Higher Education that govern how tuition and fee rates are determined. The changes update existing rules to reflect recent state laws, including a requirement for new residents to obtain a South Carolina driver's license within 45 days of moving to the state. The regulations also simplify the residency classification process by reducing the number of documents applicants must provide to prove their residency status. These updates aim to make the residency determination system more flexible and easier for both students and universities to navigate.
