Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill requires the Department of Education (the department), in collaboration with eligible postsecondary institutions, to determine annually a process for the reimbursement of tuition for postsecondary courses taken by eligible secondary students. The amount of the reimbursement is reflected in the department's total cost of education and therefore no new General Fund appropriations are required to fund these reimbursements. Any additional costs to the department to implement the requirements of this bill can be absorbed within existing resources.
