Introduced by Sen. STAVISKY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the issuance of
certificate of residence forms to individuals desiring to enroll in
community colleges as non-resident students
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 6222 of the education law, as
2 added by chapter 305 of the laws of 1979, is amended to read as follows:
3 2. (a) The methods and procedures for the admission of such non-resi-
4 dent students to the city university of New York community colleges
5 shall be in accordance with the provisions of section sixty-three
6 hundred five of this [chapter] title. Notwithstanding any inconsistent
7 provision of law, any reference contained in such section sixty-three
8 hundred five to the state university trustees or to the chancellor of
9 the state university of New York shall, for the purposes of this
10 section, be deemed to mean and refer to the board of trustees and the
11 chancellor of the city university of New York, respectively.
12 (b) Provided, further, in accordance with section six thousand three
13 hundred five of this title, the chief fiscal officer of each county, as
14 defined in section 2.00 of the local finance law, shall, upon applica-
15 tion and submission to him of satisfactory evidence, issue to any person
16 desiring to enroll in a community college as a non-resident student, a
17 certificate of residence form showing that said person is a resident of
18 said county. If the chief fiscal officer of a county refuses to issue
19 such a certificate on the ground that the person applying therefor is
20 not a resident of such county, the person applying may appeal to the
21 chancellor of the city university. The chancellor of the city university
22 shall make a determination after a hearing, upon ten days' notice to
23 such chief fiscal officer of the county, and such determination shall be
24 final and binding on the county. Such person shall, upon his registra-
25 tion for each college year, file with the college such a certificate of
26 residence form issued not earlier than two months prior thereto, and
27 such certificate of residence form shall be valid for a period of one
28 year from the date of issuance.
29 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.
