MODERATE

This bill was amended to streamline language about online high school diploma eligibility for college admission and financial aid. The changes remove references to receiving an equivalent diploma and adjust formatting for consistency.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on online high school diploma eligibility, but language was refined for clarity.

ELIGIBILITY

Removed the phrase 'or the equivalent thereof' from the description of online high school diplomas, requiring students to have received an actual diploma rather than an equivalent credential.

TECHNICAL

Changed 'ten thousand' to 'ten thousands' in the student enrollment requirement for online programs.

Reformatted numbers in the Job Corps accreditation reference from 'paragraph 4 of Appendix 302' to 'paragraph four of appendix three hundred two' for consistency.

REQUIREMENT

Added 'located within the United States' to the online high school program requirements in multiple sections for clarity.
