An Act To Amend Certain Eligibility Requirements For Secondary Students Receiving State Subsidies For Postsecondary Courses

This bill amends eligibility requirements for Maine secondary students who receive state subsidies to attend postsecondary courses. It lowers the required grade point average from 3.0 to 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, allows recommendations from school officials with knowledge of academic performance instead of just school administration, and removes lifetime credit caps for certain students. The Department of Education must submit a report by February 2028 on how these changes affect student eligibility and credit caps. These provisions are set to expire on July 31, 2028.
