AI Summary
This bill amends the Nebraska Career Scholarship Act to require postsecondary institutions, including state colleges, the University of Nebraska, and community colleges, to participate in the Nebraska Statewide Workforce and Education Reporting System. This means that these institutions must agree to submit data to this system, which is used to track workforce and education information across the state, as a condition of receiving funds under the Nebraska Career Scholarship Act. The bill explicitly states that if a state college campus, university campus, or community college area fails to fully comply with the requirements of any agreement to submit data to this system, the respective governing board (Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges, Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, or Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education) shall not allocate any scholarship funds to that non-compliant institution. The bill also repeals the original sections of law that are being amended.
