Bill > SB207

This bill delays the implementation of changes to the Guaranteed Access Grant Program, a state financial aid program designed to help students afford higher education, until the 2029-2030 financial aid award year. The existing law outlines a process where the Office of the State government compiles and certifies lists of eligible applicants based on financial need, which are then provided to colleges and universities. These institutions then use these lists, along with other requirements, to determine which students receive the grant and the award amount. The bill essentially postpones the effective date of these provisions, meaning the current system for administering the Guaranteed Access Grant will remain in place for several more years.
