(d) Students from outside the State of Maryland who attend a
community college or regional community college shall pay a full
fee which covers the one-third share of the State and also the one-
third share of the political subdivisions in addition to the regular
fees and charges for students. Out-of-county or out-of-region (or
city) students from Maryland who attend a community college or
regional community college shall pay two-thirds of a full fee, which
includes the one-third share of the political subdivisions in addi-
tion to the regular fees and charges for students. Students residing
in one political subdivision or region may attend a community
college or regional community college in another subdivision or

region where such community college offers a program which is not

reasonably accessible to such students in their own subdivision or
region; provided, however, that (1) [Any] each political subdivision
[which does not operate a community college or regional community
college under the provisions of this subtitle may] shall MAY levy and
appropriate funds to pay the one-third share of the political sub-
divisions for its residents who attend a community college [or re-
gional community college for] in another political subdivision or
region; . and (2) the State Superintendent of Schools may take rules
and regulations concerning the attendance of students in community

colleges in political subdivisions or regions other than those of

their residence, and the amounts and methods of payments by their
resident subdivisions.

(e) The chief fiscal officer of each political subdivision shall,

upon application and submission to him of satisfactory evidence,

issue to any person desiring to enroll in a community college as a

nonresident student a certificate of residence showing that said per-

son is a resident of said subdivision. If the chief fiscal officer of a

political subdivision refuses to issue such a certificate on the ground

that the person applying therefor is not a resident of such sub-

division, the person applying may appeal to the State Superin-

tendent of Schools. The State Superintendent of Schools shall make
a determination after hearing, upon ten day's notice to such chief

fiscal officer of the subdivision, and such determination shall be final

and binding on the subdivision. Such person shall, upon his regis-

tration for each college year, file with the college such a certificate

of residence issued not earlier than two months prior thereto, and
