In-state tuition for immigrants to be on 2022 Arizona ballot measure Published FOX 10's Matt Galka reports. PHOENIX - Arizona voters in 2022 will get to decide whether young people brought illegally to the United States as children should qualify for in-state tuition at community colleges and state universities, after the Legislature approved a ballot referral on Monday. The Arizona House approved the ballot referral on a contentious 33-27 vote on May 10, with four Republicans joining the chamber’s 29 minority Democrats to approve the referral. The Senate passed the measure in March with three Republican members joining the 14 Democrats. The change is needed because a 2006 voter-approved law, Proposition 300, blocks any public benefits for people who are not legal residents or citizens. Residents enrolled in the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] program were given in-state tuition until a 2018 state Supreme Court ruling said they do not qualify for cheaper tuition offered to legal residents.
