| TX | Adopted 02/2012 | Postsec. | Creates new s.21.30, concerning Special Procedures for Documenting Compliance. From Texas Register: "Specifically, the new section addresses concerns that have been expressed about the obligation of institutions towards students who are not U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents, but who have been classified as residents for higher education purposes in accordance with Texas Education Code, §54.052(a)(3). Such students must provide their institutions a signed copy of an affidavit, by which they pledge to apply for permanent resident status as soon as they are able to do so. Current federal legislation makes most of the students ineligible to apply. The new section requires institutions to retain the signed affidavits permanently and to instruct students when they are admitted, annually while they are enrolled, and upon graduation of their obligation to apply for permanent resident status. It also calls for the institutions to refer students to the proper federal agency for instructions on how to apply for such status."

| CA | Signed into law 10/2011 | Postsec. | From bill summary: Existing law requires that a student, other than a nonimmigrant alien, who has attended high school in California for 3 or more years, who has graduated from a California high school or attained the equivalent thereof, who has registered at or attends an accredited institution of higher education in California not earlier than the fall semester or quarter of the 2001–02 academic year, and who, if he/she is an alien without lawful immigration status, has filed a prescribed affidavit is exempt from paying nonresident tuition at the California Community Colleges and the California State University. This bill amends the Donahoe Higher Education Act, as of January 1, 2013, to require the trustees of the California State University and the board of governors of the California Community Colleges, and to request the regents of the University of California, to establish procedures and forms that enable students who are exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the above-described provision, or who meet equivalent requirements adopted by the regents, to participate in all student aid programs administered by these segments to the full extent permitted by federal law, except as provided. This provision applies to the University of California only if the regents, by appropriate resolution, act to make it applicable.
Provides that students who are exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the above provision, or who meet equivalent requirements adopted by the regents, are eligible to apply for, and participate in, any student financial aid program administered by the state of California to the full extent permitted by federal law. Requires the Student Aid Commission to establish procedures and forms that enable those students who are exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the above provision to apply for, and participate in, all student financial aid programs administered by the state to the full extent permitted by federal law. Prohibits students who are exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the provision described above from being eligible for Competitive Cal Grant A and B Awards unless specified conditions are met. Makes these provisions operative as of January 1, 2013. Existing federal law requires that a state may provide that an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. is eligible for any state or local public benefit for which that alien would otherwise be ineligible under a specified federal law only through enactment of a state law that affirmatively provides for that eligibility. This bill finds and declares that the amendments to the Donahoe Higher Education Act described above are state laws within the meaning of this federal provision. As of January 1, 2013, requires community college districts to waive the fees of students who are exempt from nonresident tuition under the provision described in the first paragraph above, and who otherwise qualify for a waiver under this provision, under regulations and procedures adopted by the board of governors. Because the bill imposes new duties on community college districts with respect to determining eligibility for fee waivers, the bill constitutes a state-mandated local program. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_0101-0150/ab_131_bill_20111008_chaptered.pdf

Postsec. | Specifies that verification of lawful presence in the U.S. must not be required for K-12 education. However, requires public schools to determine the citizenship and immigration status of their students, to compile data on students who are legally and illegally in the U.S. and submit such data to the state board of education. Requires the state board of education to submit an annual report to the legislature, providing data, aggregated by public school, regarding the numbers of U.S. citizens, lawfully present aliens, and of aliens believed to be unlawfully present in the U.S. enrolled at all K-12 public schools in this state. Requires that the report also:
--Provide the number of students in each category participating in English as a Second Language (ESL) programs enrolled at such schools.
--Analyze and identify the effects upon the quality of education provided to students who are U.S. citizens residing in Alabama that may have occurred, or are expected to occur, as a consequence of the enrollment of students who are illegal aliens.
--Analyze and itemize the fiscal costs to the state and political subdivisions thereof of providing instruction, computers, textbooks and other supplies, free or discounted school meals, and extracurricular activities to students who are illegal aliens.
Requires the state board to prepare and issue objective baseline criteria for identifying and assessing the other educational impacts on the quality of education provided to students who are U.S. citizens due to the enrollment of illegal aliens, in addition to the statistical data on citizenship and immigration status and ESL enrollment required by this act.
Prohibits an illegal alien from enrolling in any postsecondary institution in the state. Requires an alien enrolled in a postsecondary institution to possess either lawful permanent residence or an appropriate nonimmigrant visa. Provides an illegal alien is ineligible for any education benefit, including scholarships, grants, or financial aid. Permits a public postsecondary education institution officer to seek federal verification of an alien's immigration status with the federal government.

Postsec. | From bill summary: Enacts the California Dream Act of 2010. As of July 1, 2011, exempts a person who has attended, for 3 or more years, at least one of which shall have been in a high school, and graduated from, high school in California from paying nonresident tuition at the California Community Colleges and the California State University. Provides that persons attending and graduating from California technical schools and adult schools, as well as high schools, are included within the scope of this provision.
As of July 1, 2011, requires the trustees of the California State University and the board of governors of the California Community Colleges, and requests the regents of the University of California, to establish
procedures and forms that enable persons who are exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the aforementioned provision, or who meet equivalent requirements adopted by the regents, to apply for, and participate in, all student aid programs administered by these segments to the full extent permitted by federal law. Provides exceptions. Specifies this provision applies to the University of California only if the regents, by appropriate resolution, act to make it applicable. Provides that if a state court finds that this provision, or a similar provision adopted by the regents, is unlawful, the same limitations described
above would apply.
Further provides that, on and after January 1, 2011, a student attending the California State University, the California Community Colleges, or the University of California who is exempt from paying nonresident tuition under the provision described above would be eligible to receive a scholarship derived from nonstate funds received, for the purpose of scholarships, by the segment at which he or she is a student.
Finds and declares that the amendments described above are state laws, to come into compliance with federal law, which requires that a state may provide that an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. is eligible for any state or local public benefit for which that alien would otherwise be ineligible under a specified federal law only through enactment of a state law that affirmatively provides for that eligibility.
Requires community college districts to waive the fees of persons who are exempt from nonresident tuition under the aforementioned provisions and who otherwise qualify for a waiver under this provision, under regulations and procedures adopted by the board of governors.
From last bill analysis: This bill is an effort to expand the availability of financial aid to those UC, SCU, and CCC students eligible for nonresident tuition status under AB 540. These students are typically aliens without lawful immigration status or United States citizens or permanent residents who are residents of another state and would be ineligible for state-administered or campus-based financial aid programs without the provisions of AB 540.
