2019 Bill(s)

* SCS HCS HB 225
Sponsor: Swan, Kathy
Status: S 3rd Read
Description: Establish a grant program to cover educational costs for lower income persons 25 years of age or older in a program that prepares students to enter an area of occupational shortage as defined by the Higher Education Board. The program must be one that awards "a certificate, degree, or other industry-recognized credential." Funding would be subject to appropriation. One of the governor's two top legislative priorities. The SS expands charter schools and has provisions for funds to private schools.

    • Note: The descriptions of bills, amendments and roll-call votes are written by MDN journalists. MDN's database may not include committee assignments of bills made on the last day of the session since it is too late for the committee to act on the bill and, thus, the delayed assignment has no practical effect.
