Summary

The legislation changes eligibility for out‑of‑state tuition exemptions at Maryland public colleges, allowing undocumented students who attended and graduated from a Maryland high school to qualify without proving three years of state tax filings. It adds modest documentation requirements, such as an affidavit to apply for permanent residency and Selective Service compliance, and requires colleges to report how many students receive the exemption. The change aims to broaden access to affordable higher education for undocumented residents.
