Relates to increasing loan forgiveness for attorneys performing legal services for indigent clients

This bill increases reimbursement for attorneys providing legal services to indigent clients from $3,400 to $5,500 per qualifying year. It directly affects eligible attorneys who work in legal services for low-income clients under New York's education law program. The key provision raises the annual reimbursement cap while maintaining that funding depends on available appropriations and requires applicants to meet specific service criteria. The change would take effect on April 1, 2026, and applies to attorneys completing qualifying service years after that date. The bill does not alter eligibility requirements or create new funding sources, only adjusting the reimbursement amount.
