        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing the  board
          of  trustees of the state university of New York to offer certain non-
          resident undergraduate students separate tuition rates for  attendance
          at  selected state-operated institutions; and providing for the repeal
          of such provisions upon the expiration thereof

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.  Paragraph h of subdivision 2 of section 355 of the educa-
     2  tion law is amended by adding a new subparagraph 4-c to read as follows:
     3    (4-c) Commencing with the two thousand twenty-four--two thousand twen-
     4  ty-five academic year and ending in the two  thousand  twenty-eight--two
     5  thousand  twenty-nine  academic year, the board of trustees of the state
     6  university is authorized to  designate  selected  state-operated  insti-
     7  tutions  of the state university for participation in a program allowing
     8  eligible non-resident undergraduate students  to  pay  separate  tuition
     9  rates for attendance at those selected institutions. In selecting insti-
    10  tutions  for this program, such board of trustees shall consider out-of-
    11  state competition, current or projected levels of high school  graduates
    12  within  an institution's recruitment region, and enrollment capacity and
    13  physical location of these institutions. The board of  trustees  of  the
    14  state  university  is  further  authorized  to set such separate tuition
    15  rates, which shall not be set below an amount equal to one and  one-half
    16  times  the  in-state  tuition  rate  at the designated institution. Such
    17  separate tuition rates may be  offered  only  to  eligible  non-resident
    18  students,  the total of which shall not exceed ten percent of enrollment
    19  at each designated institution. Residents from the states  of  Connecti-
    20  cut,  Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Vermont, and the
    21  Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec may be  eligible  for  separate
    22  tuition rates at the designated state-operated institutions. Each state-
