AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to stipulate that individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of the United States are not eligible for in-state tuition rates and fees at public institutions of higher education. It also requires the Board of Higher Education to issue regulations defining a "resident of the Commonwealth" for the purpose of admission and tuition expenses, specifying that a resident must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States as defined under federal immigration law. The bill makes an exception for residents of the states comprising the designated region for the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, who shall be considered Massachusetts residents for the purposes of admission and tuition.
