AZ HB2398

Grants immediate in-state tuition classification to persons honorably discharged from the armed forces of the United States, without requiring the standard one-year domicile period.

Removes previous requirements for honorably discharged veterans to have declared Arizona as legal residence one year prior to discharge or to have filed an Arizona income tax return.

Provides that veterans discharged while serving at a military installation in Arizona qualify for immediate in-state student status regardless of how long they were domiciled in the state.

Adds specific documentation examples (Arizona driver's license, vehicle registration, voter registration, banking records) that community colleges may use to verify domicile and residency status for all students.

Requires community college districts to grant immediate resident tuition classification to honorably discharged service members under domicile determination procedures.
