Creates a commission to evaluate the need for community colleges to participate in the educational opportunity program

This bill creates a temporary commission to study whether 12 SUNY community colleges should join the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), which provides financial and academic support to disadvantaged students. The commission will evaluate how EOP participation affects transfer students from these colleges who seek support at four-year schools. It must report recommendations to state leaders within one year, with no direct policy changes enacted by the bill itself. The focus is on assessing current eligibility barriers for students at the 12 non-participating community colleges.
