Provides for mileage reimbursements for dual enrollment courses for college credit

HB 1285 creates a state-funded program to help Missouri high school students cover transportation costs for dual enrollment courses taken off-campus. It provides reimbursement for mileage expenses at 37 cents per mile for round trips between a student's home and the course location, subject to income-based eligibility requirements (such as free/reduced lunch eligibility or foster care status). The program applies to students enrolled in approved dual credit or dual enrollment courses who attend classes at a location other than their high school and meet economic need criteria. Reimbursements are paid quarterly based on documented travel records. The bill establishes a dedicated fund to finance these payments, with unused funds carrying over to the next biennium.
