This bill proposes to amend section 15-1803 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the criteria for classifying students for tuition purposes. The current law states that a student must have attended any public or private high school or homeschool equivalent while physically present in the state for at least two years. The bill modifies this requirement by removing the word "any" and inserting "or is attending a" before the existing language, thereby broadening the eligibility criteria to include students who are currently attending a qualifying educational institution.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that stipulates its effectiveness is contingent upon the affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the members of each house of the legislature, as outlined in the Arizona Constitution. This requirement for legislative approval is a new insertion that emphasizes the need for significant support for the changes to take effect.
