Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 23-7.4:4 as follows:

§ 23-7.4:4. Revocation of in-state tuition in certain cases.

Upon disposition of a proceeding in a circuit or district court in which a resident of the Commonwealth who has been identified by the attorney for the Commonwealth as a student enrolled in a public institution of higher education in Virginia is convicted of a crime involving the use, purchase, manufacture, or distribution of alcohol, controlled substances, or marijuana, the clerk of the circuit or district court in which the disposition is entered shall, within fifteen days if there has been no notice of an appeal, provide written notice of the disposition ordered by the court, including the nature of the offense upon which the conviction was based, to the governing board of the public institution of higher education in which the student is enrolled at the time of the disposition or, if he is not then enrolled in such institution, the institution in which he was enrolled at the time of the offense.

Upon receipt of such report, the relevant governing board shall revoke the in-state tuition status of such student for a period not to exceed one year pursuant to regulations to be promulgated by the State Council of Higher Education. Such regulations shall include, but shall not be limited to, provisions addressing the duration of such revocation; the effect of graduation or failure to re-enroll on such revocation; terms of payment or reimbursement for tuition costs; and subsequent dissemination of such reports.
