METHODOLOGY:
This bill prohibits the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) and the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) from distributing any state-funded financial assistance to any student who has failed to demonstrate legal residency in New Hampshire. Additionally, this bill restricts non-legal residents of the state for adult education programs under RSA 186:61-63. Both USNH and CCSNH have existing processes for determining legal residency and therefore this bill will have no impact on either system.
The Department of Education provides programs for approximately 7,000 adults, but does not collect any information pertaining to the legal status of those served. Therefore, it is not possible to estimate this bill’s impact on state expenditures, or local expenditures to the extent funds pass through school districts.
