HB 7006 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING TUITION WAIVERS FOR NURSING HOME RESIDENTS WHO TAKE ONLINE COURSES AT REGIONAL COMMUNITY-TECHNICAL COLLEGES.

HB 7006 creates a tuition waiver for nursing home residents in Connecticut who enroll in online courses at regional community-technical colleges. The waiver applies only if a course has sufficient non-waiver students enrolled and available space after accommodating them. Residents receiving this waiver may have the waiver reduced if they also receive employer education reimbursement. This policy directly affects Connecticut nursing home residents seeking affordable online education opportunities.
