        AN ACT to amend the education law,  in  relation  to  allowing  eligible
          non-resident  undergraduate students to pay separate tuition rates for
          attendance at the state university college of  arts  and  sciences  at

     1    Section  1.  Paragraph h of subdivision 2 of section 355 of the educa-
     2  tion law is amended by adding a new subparagraph 4-b to read as follows:
     3    (4-b) Commencing with the two thousand twenty-two--two thousand  twen-
     4  ty-three  academic  year  and ending in the two thousand twenty-six--two
     5  thousand twenty-seven academic year, the board of trustees of the  state
     6  university  may  designate  the  state  university  college  of arts and
     7  sciences at Potsdam for participation in  a  program  allowing  eligible
     8  non-resident undergraduate students that reside within two hundred miles
     9  of  the institution to pay separate tuition rates for attendance at such
    10  institution. Such institution shall consider  out-of-state  competition,
    11  current  or  projected levels of high school graduates within the insti-
    12  tution's  recruitment  region,  and  enrollment  capacity  and  physical
    13  location  of  the  institution,  if such institution participates in the
    14  program. The board of  trustees  of  the  state  university  is  further
    15  authorized  to  set  such separate tuition rates, which shall not be set
    16  below an amount equal to one and one-half  times  the  in-state  tuition
    17  rate  at  the designated institution. Such separate tuition rates may be
    18  offered only to eligible non-resident students, the total of which shall
    19  not exceed ten percent of enrollment at the designated institution.  The
    20  institution  shall report annually to the board of trustees of the state
    21  university on the impact of this program.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; and shall expire  and  be
    23  deemed repealed June 1, 2027.
