18 SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT. (1) The state of Idaho and
19 the nation are being challenged by a mix of demographic, economic and techno-
20 logical changes. Combined, these changes are driving the state toward a
21 skilled workforce deficit in both new and experienced workers. A workforce
22 deficit threatens the competitiveness of our state and acts as a barrier to
23 individual opportunities for all citizens. Increased community college ser-
24 vices, accessible to all citizens and designed to address new and emerging
25 employment needs, will address the growing deficits in the workforce and pro-
26 vide increased access to educational opportunities for Idaho citizens.
27 (2) The purpose of this act is to establish a statewide network of commu-
28 nity colleges to meet demands across the state, and to allow the four-year
29 academic institutions to concentrate on baccalaureate, graduate and postgradu-
30 ate level students.
31 (3) A community college established pursuant to the provisions of this
32 chapter shall give instruction in academic subjects, professional-technical
33 programs, workforce training programs, adult and other remedial and develop-
34 mental subjects, and in such other subjects as shall be authorized by the
35 advisory board of the community college. The academic courses offered and the
36 instruction of the courses shall be of the same standard as the same are
37 offered and taught in the first two years of any other state institution of
38 higher education, and credits therefor shall be accepted by other state insti-
39 tutions for credit toward a baccalaureate degree.

29 SECTION 7. That Section 33-2110A, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
30 amended to read as follows:
31 33-2110A. TUITION OF OUT OF FOR STUDENTS RESIDING OUTSIDE OF A COMMUNITY
32 COLLEGE DISTRICT, IDAHO STUDENTS, COUNTY TAXES AND OTHER FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
33 (1) Any student residing in the area of a county outside of a community col-
34 lege district or in a county without a community college district, who has
35 been a resident of the county and state as defined by section 33-2110B, Idaho
36 Code, immediately prior to the date of his first enrollment in a community
37 college, which residence may not be acquired while attending and enrolled in a
38 community college, may enroll in any community college in the state, and the
39 county of his residence shall pay that portion of his tuition as hereinafter
40 set out. The tuition which shall be paid by the resident county shall be that
41 portion of the tuition uniformly established by a community college district
42 for all out of district students residing outside of a community college dis-
43 trict, both in state as well as out of state, pursuant to section 33-2110,
44 Idaho Code, after deducting therefrom the amount of tuition paid by a resi-
45 dent student at the community college; however, the liability of the resident
46 county shall not exceed two-thirds (2/3) of the total tuition and fees charged
47 and in no instance shall it exceed five hundred dollars ($500) each semester
48 for a two (2) semester year for a full-time student. The student shall pay the
49 comparable tuition and fees charged a student resident in the a district, and
50 the balance, if any, of the nonresident student tuition above the maximum lia-
51 bility of the county of his residence. No county shall be liable for out of
6
1 district or comparable tuition unless the board of county commissioners of
2 that county has first verified to the community college in writing the fact
3 that the student is a resident of the county. Upon verification, the county
4 shall thereafter be liable for the out of district or comparable tuition so
5 long as the student is duly enrolled and attending the college subject to the
6 following limitations:
7 (a) Liability shall be the term of the curriculum for which the student
8 is enrolled, with a maximum lifetime liability of three thousand dollars
9 ($3,000).
10 (b) Liability shall terminate if the student's domiciliary residence
11 changes and that change continues for twelve (12) months.
12 (2) The nonresident tuition shall be established annually not later than
13 August 1 and shall be forthwith filed with the state board of education,
14 together with a statement supporting the computation thereof. Each community
15 college, by October 15 and March 15 of each year, shall bill the county of
16 residence of each nonresident student enrolled at the commencement of each
17 semester, and each board of county commissioners shall allow and order paid
18 any bill for tuition at the first regular meeting following receipt of the
19 bill, but not exceeding forty-five (45) days after receipt. Upon failure of a
20 county to pay the tuition, a community college district may commence action in
21 the district court of the state of Idaho for the county to collect the same.
22 (3) For the payment of tuition of nonresident students as herein pro-
23 vided, there shall be allocated in each county without a community college
24 district to a county community college fund, and paid to the county treasurer
25 to be held in that fund, fifty percent (50%) of all moneys apportioned to the
26 county out of liquor funds of the state of Idaho as set forth in chapter 4,
27 title 23, Idaho Code, and that amount shall be deducted from the amount that
28 would otherwise be allocated to the county; and if liquor funds are not suffi-
29 cient to pay the tuition, commencing for the calendar year 1966, the board of
30 county commissioners shall levy upon the taxable property within each county
31 without a community college district, and, in a county with such a district,
32 upon the taxable property within the county lying outside of the community
33 college district, a property tax not to exceed six hundredths percent (.06%)
34 of market value for assessment purposes, to be certified as set out in section
35 33-2111, Idaho Code. The proceeds of the levy shall be placed in the county
36 community college fund. Apportionment of liquor funds herein provided shall
37 commence for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 1965, and accruing during
38 that quarter.
39 (4) Based upon the enrollment established by the first semester's tuition
40 bills received by October 15, the board of county commissioners shall estab-
41 lish immediately a total community college annual tuition budget for two (2)
42 semesters which shall be equal to twice the amount of the tuition bills plus a
43 contingency factor of ten percent (10%). This budget shall be adjusted after
44 March 15 based on any change of enrollment shown by the second semester
45 tuition bills. If enrollment is from zero to not more than four (4) students,
46 a minimum budget of five (5) students at five hundred dollars ($500) each
47 shall be established. In the event all tuition bills received have been paid,
48 notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (a) any liquor funds received,
49 which in the quarter when received to any extent are in excess of the budget,
50 to the extent of that excess shall not be paid over to the county treasurer
51 to be held in the community college fund, and (b) any funds received from the
52 levy on taxable property, which when received to any extent are in excess of
53 the budget after the application of liquor funds thereto, to the extent of
54 that excess shall not be paid over to the community college fund. Excess
55 liquor funds shall be paid pursuant to law as if this section were not appli-
7
1 cable and excess funds shall be paid to the general fund of the county. In the
2 event the total liquor fund payable hereunder to the county community college
3 fund together with the receipts from the levy on taxable property for each
4 fiscal year are insufficient to pay tuition bills, which deficiency is caused
5 by a levy of less than the maximum allowed hereunder, or by enrollment in
6 excess of the budget herein provided, the budget for each following year shall
7 be increased to the maximum allowed by the maximum tax levy authorized to pay
8 any deficiency at the earliest time. If the deficiency is due to the lack of
9 funds in a fiscal year when the maximum levy authorized shall have been made,
10 for the next fiscal year thereafter the number of students from that county
11 shall be limited by the board of county commissioners to the extent necessary
12 to pay the deficiency not later than the end of the following year. Provided
13 nevertheless, for the two (2) semesters commencing September, 1965, the board
14 of county commissioners shall limit the community college budget and total
15 students to estimated liquor funds available on quarterly disbursements
16 through June 30, 1966. Any limitation of students authorized shall be accom-
17 plished (a) on the basis of student grades and financial need, and (b) by each
18 community college notifying the county of residence of each student's applica-
19 tion and the county shall accept or reject the application at least five (5)
20 days prior to the tuition billing dates set out herein. A community college
21 shall nevertheless have a right to require any student residing outside the
22 district to pay nonresident tuition if the county of his residence is more
23 than twenty-five percent (25%) in arrears of a total county tuition bill for
24 one (1) year as of the beginning of the subsequent semester, but tuition shall
25 be refunded to such students when paid by the county.
26 SECTION 8. That Chapter 21, Title 33, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
27 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
28 ignated as Section 33-2141A, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
29 33-2141A. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS TO STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGES. (1) Funds
30 appropriated to the state board of education for the request for proposal
31 (RFP) process in support of community colleges shall be apportioned equally to
32 each community college area. If more than one (1) institution in an area is
33 eligible to receive funds, the state board of education shall distribute that
34 area's funds directly to the community colleges in that area.
35 (2) Funds not disbursed as an award through the RFP process shall be
36 returned to the state board of education and such funds shall only be used for
37 state community colleges established pursuant to section 33-2101, Idaho Code,
38 in support of the services they provide.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 16254
Currently, many Idaho students are taking courses at traditional
universities and paying higher tuition rates associated with
universities. Idaho must take steps to expand access to community
college services and ensure affordability of these services so that
every Idahoan has an opportunity for continued learning.
Community colleges with open access and reasonable tuition serve as
major gateways for students to enter postsecondary education. The
need for greater access to postsecondary education in Idaho is
evident through a number of measures. At present, only 44% of the
state's high school graduates go on to pursue any form of
postsecondary education, ranking Idaho 45th in the nation in this
regard. Compounding the problem is the fact that community
colleges exist in only two areas of the state.
This legislation is to update the provisions relating to community
colleges as junior colleges, consistent with Idaho Code 33-2101A.
It also empowers the State Board of Education to establish a
network of community colleges in areas of the state where
postsecondary education needs are underserved. This legislation
does not allow the board to establish new community colleges in
those areas of the state that already have existing community

Funding relationships of community colleges are not changed with
this legislation. Funding will still be subject to local
government support, student fees, non-state receipts and state
appropriations. Additional funding may be experienced in the
future due to the increased capabilities resulting from this
legislation that will increase access and affordability for
students, but it is not mandated.
