SB1489

SB1489 simplifies residency criteria for University of Hawaii tuition fees for local high school graduates.

SB1489 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to redefine residency for tuition purposes at the University of Hawaii. The bill aims to facilitate enrollment for local high school graduates by recognizing them as residents if their parents or guardians have been bona fide residents for at least twelve months before enrollment. It also considers students who graduated from a Hawaii high school within the last four years and plan to enroll in an undergraduate degree program as residents.
