A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 304A-402, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§304A-402[]] Residence for tuition purposes;
basic rule. The board of regents shall adopt the necessary rules defining
residence for tuition purposes herein; provided that the basic rule shall be
that a student shall qualify for the resident tuition fee only if the following
criteria are met:
(1) The adult student, or in the case of a minor student, the student's parents or guardians, has or have been a bona fide resident of this State for at least twelve consecutive months next preceding the student's first day of officially scheduled instruction for any semester or term in which the student is enrolling at the particular college or campus; and
(2) The adult or minor student has not been claimed
as a dependent for tax purposes for at least twelve months next preceding the
student's first day of officially scheduled instruction for any semester or
term in which the student is enrolling at the particular college or campus by
the student's parents or guardians who are nonresidents of the State; provided
that this provision shall not apply in cases where the parent claiming the
student as a dependent is entitled to do so under a child support order or
agreement issued or entered into in conjunction with a divorce proceeding or
legal separation agreement and the other parent and the student meet the criteria
set forth in paragraph (1)[.];
provided that a veteran who is a resident of any state shall also qualify for the resident tuition fee. As used in this section, "veteran" means any person who has served in the armed services of the United States and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable."
SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2009-2010 and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2010-2011 for the University of Hawaii to grant resident status to veterans enrolled at any campus of the University of Hawaii system.
The sums appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawaii for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2009.
