Bill > S918

This bill modifies an existing Massachusetts law to expand higher education tuition and fee waivers for adopted foster children by removing the term "state-supported" and inserting the word "full" in the existing statute. Specifically, the bill makes two key changes to Chapter 15A, Section 19 of the Massachusetts General Laws: first, it eliminates the phrase "state-supported" which may have previously limited the scope of tuition waivers, and second, it adds the word "full" after the word "provide", which suggests the intent is to ensure comprehensive tuition and fee coverage for adopted foster children. By removing potential restrictions and emphasizing "full" support, the legislation aims to make higher education more accessible for foster children who have been adopted, potentially reducing financial barriers that might otherwise prevent these students from pursuing post-secondary education.
