Current law also includes nonresident tuition exemptions, under which certain
nonresident students pay resident tuition rates. This bill creates an additional
exemption for a person who has resided in this state for 12 months immediately
preceding any semester or session in which they register at an institution and who
is in approved deferred action status pursuant to the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
