The legislature finds that requiring the board of regents to grant a tuition waiver to a resident student pursuing a degree in education for the semester or term that the student enrolls in a state-approved teacher education program is a matter of statewide concern pursuant to article X, section 6, of the Hawaii State Constitution. SECTION 2.

(a) The board of regents shall grant a waiver on all tuition and mandatory fees for a resident student enrolled in the college of education at the university of Hawaii at Manoa for the semester or term that the resident student chooses to complete the student teaching requirement necessary to earn a degree in education; provided that the student is: (1) Enrolled as a full-time student in good academic standing in the college of education at the university of Hawaii at Manoa; (2) Enrolled in a degree program that: (A) Results in a degree in education; and (B) Requires the completion of student teaching hours; and (3) Currently enrolled in a state-approved teacher education program. (b) The university shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91 necessary to implement this section." SECTION 2. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 3.
