Higher education: financial aid; eligibility for Michigan reconnect program; modify. Amends secs. 1 & 5 of 2020 PA 84 (MCL 390.1701 & 390.1705).

This bill modifies the Michigan Reconnect Grant Act to update eligibility requirements for individuals seeking financial aid for adult education. It directly affects adults aged 25 and older who are pursuing associate degrees or industry-recognized certificates at Michigan community colleges. The key provision establishes that this bill will only become effective if a companion bill, SB 406, is also passed into law. By linking its activation to another piece of legislation, the bill ensures that changes to the grant program are implemented as part of a coordinated legislative effort.
