(b) The state shall pay the current rate of dual enrollment tuition, which is established at 1/2 the regular cost of the course, to the CCSNH institution where a high school [or], career and technical education, or non-residential nonpublic high school student [successfully completes] enrolls in a dual enrollment course and CCSNH shall accept such amount as full payment for course tuition.
