AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY ARE CLASSIFIED AS NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS AND SO QUALIFY TO PAY IN-STATE TUITION AT STATE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.   G.S. 116-4.3(b) reads as rewritten:
"(b)	Any member of the armed services qualifying for admission to an institution of higher education as defined in G.S. 116-143.1(a)(3) but not qualifying as a resident for tuition purposes under G.S. 116-143.1 shall be charged the out-of-State tuition rate; provided, that the out- of-State tuition shall be forgiven to the extent that the out-of-State tuition rate exceeds any amounts payable to the institution or the service member by the service member's employer by reason of enrollment pursuant to such admission while the member is abiding in this State incident to active military duty, plus the amount that represents the percentage of the out-of-State tuition rate paid to the institution or the service member by the service member's employer multiplied by the in-State tuition rate and then subtracted from the in-State tuition rate.  Any member of the armed services who does not qualify for any payment by the member's employer shall be classified as a resident for tuition purposes and shall pay the full amount of the in-State tuition rate.”
