        Introduced  by  COMMITTEE  ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Glick) --
          read once and referred to the Committee on Higher Education

        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to certificates of  resi-
          dence required of community college enrollees

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 6305  of  the  education  law,  as
     2  amended  by  section  2  of part V of chapter 57 of the laws of 2013, is
     3  amended to read as follows:
     4    3. The chief fiscal officer of each county, as defined in section 2.00
     5  of the local finance law, shall,  upon  application  and  submission  to
     6  [him]  such  chief  fiscal officer of satisfactory evidence in-person or
     7  electronically, issue to any person desiring to enroll  in  a  community
     8  college as a non-resident student, a certificate of residence form show-
     9  ing that said person is a resident of said county.  No such chief fiscal
    10  officer shall require a person desiring to enroll in a community college
    11  as a non-resident student to disclose or furnish his or her social secu-
    12  rity  number.  If  the chief fiscal officer of a county refuses to issue
    13  such a certificate on the ground that the person  applying  therefor  is
    14  not  a resident of such county, the person applying may appeal, in writ-
    15  ing, electronically or by mail, to the chancellor of the state universi-
    16  ty. The chancellor of the state university, or such officers or  employ-
    17  ees  thereof  as  shall  be  designated  by  the  chancellor in a manner
    18  authorized by the state university trustees, shall make a  determination
    19  after  a  hearing, upon ten days' notice to such chief fiscal officer of
    20  the county, and such determination shall be final  and  binding  on  the
    21  county.  Such  person  shall,  upon  [his] registration for each college
    22  year, file with the college such a certificate of residence form  issued
    23  not earlier than two months prior thereto, and such certificate of resi-
    24  dence  form  shall  be  valid  for a period of one year from the date of
    25  issuance. The state university trustees shall be authorized  to  promul-
    26  gate regulations to effectuate the provisions of this subdivision.
    27    § 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2023.
