residency requirement
Must live there
A residency requirement is a rule that someone must live in a particular place for a specified time to qualify for something—voting, in-state tuition, public benefits, or professional licensing.
The state has a one-year residency requirement for in-state tuition.
Such requirements prevent forum shopping and ensure participants have genuine ties to a jurisdiction.
