MINOR

This bill removes the sunset provision that would have automatically ended the tuition assistance income adjustment program on December 31, 2026, and extends the program indefinitely. It also clarifies that the income adjustment applies to the current academic year rather than just the 2025-2026 year.

Scope change

The bill's scope was extended from a temporary two-year program to a permanent provision.

TIMELINE

Removed the expiration date of December 31, 2026, meaning the tuition assistance income adjustment program will no longer automatically end.

ELIGIBILITY

Changed the language to apply the income adjustment to the current academic year rather than limiting it to the 2025-2026 academic year.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill title and committee status to reflect that it was amended and recommitted to the Higher Education Committee.
