AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of Higher Education to establish and manage a database containing information about admissions to the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), a program designed to help eligible students access higher education. The database will track how many spots are available in EOF programs at various colleges and universities, making this information accessible to campus EOF directors. This aims to improve communication and help eligible students find suitable placements. If a student doesn't secure a spot at one institution, their campus EOF director must inform them about openings at other participating institutions, and colleges must promptly report when an EOF spot is filled so the database can be updated within one business day.
