   Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 6305  of  the  education  law,  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

 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
