EFFECT: Active duty soldiers remain non-residents for tuition purposes.  Higher education institutions who admit such a soldier must waive that portion of nonresident fees that exceed federal tuition assistance, but in no case would the required waiver bring assessed fees below the resident rate.  This waiver would not be subject to statutory limits on public colleges and universities.
