Bill Summary
For legislation to ensure students' access to academic transcripts, reports recommending that the accompanying bill (Senate, No. 2727) ought to pass.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure students' access to academic transcripts by prohibiting institutions of higher education from withholding a student's unofficial academic transcript solely due to the student's failure to pay any loan payments, fines, fees, tuition, or other expenses owed to the institution. However, the bill allows institutions to withhold a student's academic credits and grades for any course for which the student's tuition and mandatory course fees have not been paid. For students paying on a per-semester basis, the institution may withhold the student's academic credits or grades for any course taken in a semester for which the tuition and mandatory course fees have not been paid.
