| NM | Signed into law 03/2006 | Postsec.
Community College | From fiscal impact statement: This bill does not contain an appropriation; however, enactment of this legislation is likely to have a significant impact on the expenditure of the Lottery Tuition Fund. The lack of clear statutory definitions of "tuition" and "general fees" has contributed to a trend by some institutions of higher education to reclassify an increasing portion of their combined "tuition and fee" charges as "tuition." The impact of this reclassification is to increase the value of Lottery Success Scholarships for eligible recipients, thereby increasing the expenditure rate from the Lottery Tuition Fund. Enactment of this legislation will constrain this practice which should help reduce the
rate of growth in future expenditures for the program, all other things held equal. Fiscal impact statement: http://legis.state.nm.us/Sessions/06%20Regular/firs/SB0155.pdf

| VA | Signed into law 03/2006 | Postsec. | Provides that students entitled to in-state tuition will be assessed a surcharge upon satisfactorily completing 125% of credit hours needed to obtain a degree in the student's chosen program. The surcharge will be an amount calculated to equal 100% of the average cost of the student's education at the relevant institution less tuition and mandatory educational and general fee charges assessed to a student meeting Virginia domiciliary status who has not exceeded 125 % of such credit hours. Certain courses and credit hours are excluded from the calculation of the 125% of the credit hours needed to satisfy the degree requirements for the "credit hour threshold," e.g., remedial courses and credits obtained through advanced placement or international baccalaureate programs or dual enrollment while in high school. A waiver of the surcharge may be granted by the relevant institution, in accordance with the guidelines and criteria established by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV). Waiver criteria may include, but need not be limited to, illness or disability or active service in the armed forces of the United States. A second enactment clause requires SCHEV to revise its guidelines for determining in-state tuition charges, which are not subject to the Administrative Process Act, to include these requirements by July 1, 2006, including, but not limited to, notice to students who may be or may become subject to the surcharge and determinations of extenuating circumstances.
