Higher education; resident tuition; illegal immigrants; SAVE Program verification; effective date

Summary

The bill creates a pathway for students who finished high school in Oklahoma and lived there for at least two years to pay in‑state tuition, even if they cannot prove U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. Those students must either submit a pending USCIS application or sign an affidavit promising to file one within a year of enrollment, and they cannot be barred from state scholarships because of their immigration status. The change applies only to new applicants and preserves benefits for students who already received resident tuition before the 2006‑07 school year.
