HB 5993 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Education: career and technical; trade schools; include in the postsecondary enrollment options act. Amends sec. 3 of 1996 PA 160 (MCL 388.513).

This bill amends Michigan's Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act to explicitly include trade schools as eligible institutions for high school students taking college-level courses. It updates the legal definition of "eligible postsecondary institution" to ensure that trade schools, alongside community colleges and universities, can participate in the program where students pay tuition and fees directly. The legislation does not alter existing rules regarding course limits, eligibility criteria, or tuition caps, focusing instead on clarifying which types of schools can offer these dual-enrollment opportunities. By making this change, the bill allows high schoolers to access vocational and technical training at trade schools through the same funding and enrollment framework currently used for traditional colleges.
