AI Summary
This bill modifies the Michigan Reconnect Grant Act by lowering the age eligibility for financial assistance from 25 to 21 years old. The program provides last-dollar financial aid to adult learners seeking associate degrees, industry-recognized certificates, or credentials. The purpose of the program is to help individuals gain education and skills needed for an evolving economy, support workforce development, drive innovations in community college adult learning, reduce educational equity gaps, and contribute to a state goal of increasing the number of residents ages 25-64 with a college degree or skills credential to 60% by 2030. The bill is contingent on the passage of a related Senate Bill (SB 232), which means it will only take effect if that companion bill becomes law. By lowering the age requirement, the bill aims to make educational financial assistance more accessible to a younger group of adult learners.
