AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure tuition equity for Massachusetts residents at public institutions of higher education. It proposes to allow any person, other than a non-immigrant alien, who has attended a Massachusetts high school for at least 3 years and graduated, or is currently enrolled in a Massachusetts public higher education institution, to be eligible for in-state tuition rates and fees at any state institution of higher education in the Commonwealth. The bill outlines the documentation required to demonstrate eligibility, such as registering for selective service (if applicable), providing a valid social security number or individual taxpayer identification number, filing Massachusetts income tax returns, and submitting an affidavit (for non-citizens). The Department of Higher Education is tasked with collaborating with public institutions to promulgate regulations to facilitate the in-state tuition eligibility process.
