California enacted the law known as AB540 in 2002. It says non-citizens who establish 3 years of residency can pay in-state tuition fees to attend California colleges and universities.
Some out-of-state students paying higher fees filed suit calling the law unfair. The state supreme court said Monday the law is legal, marking the first ruling of its kind in the nation.
The issue prompted debate among students at CSU Sacramento. Victoria Ramirez said, "I think they should be able to pay less. I think it's okay if they're residents here and have been living here three years."
