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 option or homeschool equivalent" while physically present in the state for at least two years. The bill modifies this requirement by changing "any" to "or is attending a," thereby clarifying that students who are currently enrolled in a public or private high school or homeschool equivalent also qualify under this statute.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that stipulates its effectiveness is contingent upon an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the members of each house of the legislature, as outlined in the Arizona Constitution. This insertion ensures that the changes to the law will only take effect if there is significant legislative support.
