SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

R.62-600 through 62-612 of Chapter 62 is being amended and replaced in its entirety. Revisions to the existing regulation for the SC Residency Regulation are being considered to clarify the policies and procedures for administering the program. In the proposed amendment, the regulation is being updated to reflect recently passed Act 10 of 2019, relating to the allowance of veterans and covered individuals using specific education benefits to be charged at a tuition rate equivalent to the institution's in-state rate. The revisions seek to promote consistency among the State institutions and their residency classification processes.

A Notice of Drafting for the proposed regulation was published in the South Carolina State Register on March 22, 2019.
