Community and junior colleges; authorize boards of trustees to reduce or waive out-of-state tuition for certain students.

Summary

The bill lets the boards of community and junior colleges that border another state set policies to lower or eliminate out‑of‑state tuition for certain non‑resident students. Eligibility includes veterans receiving Yellow Ribbon benefits, Hurricane Katrina or Rita evacuees (for the 2005‑2006 school year), and other students who meet criteria the board adopts. It aims to broaden access while keeping state funding limited to Mississippi residents.
