  Section  1.  Subdivision  2  of  section 6305 of the education law, as
amended by chapter 646 of the laws  of  1975,  is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  2. Any community college may, with the approval of the state universi-
ty trustees, charge non-resident students sufficient tuition and fees to
cover an allocable portion of the local sponsor's share of the operating
costs of such community college in addition to regular tuition and fees.
Such  community  college  may  elect  to charge to and collect from each
county within the state which has issued a certificate  or  certificates
of  residence pursuant to subdivision three of this section on the basis
of  which  such  non-resident  students  are  attending  such  community
college,  an allocable portion of the local sponsor's share of the oper-
ating costs of such community college attributable to such  non-resident
students,  computed  on a per student basis, together with a further sum
of not to exceed three hundred dollars each year to  be  determined  and
approved  by  the  state  university trustees for each such non-resident
student on account of the local sponsor's share  of  the  capital  costs
incurred  to  provide facilities in which such non-resident students can
be accommodated; or, where such non-resident students come from communi-
ties which have elected to participate in and pay an  appropriate  share
of  the  expenses  involved  in  the  local  sponsor's community college
program, such allocable portion of operating expenses and  such  further
sum not to exceed three hundred dollars per student for capital costs on
