This bill proposes to grant in-state tuition rates at institutions within the University System of New Hampshire and the Community College System to individuals who can provide proof of voter registration in the state. Specifically, it introduces new sections to RSA 187-A and RSA 188-F, mandating that the boards of trustees for these educational systems offer in-state undergraduate tuition for up to four years to eligible voters, who must submit proof of registration before each academic year.

Additionally, the bill removes college or university identification cards from the list of valid forms of photo identification for obtaining a ballot, as indicated by the repeal and reenactment of RSA 659:13, II(a)(5). The fiscal impact of this legislation is significant, with the University System of New Hampshire projecting a potential annual revenue loss of approximately $141.6 million due to the shift in tuition rates for out-of-state students, while the Community College System anticipates a decrease in its budget ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
