Bill Summary

This bill modifies provisions related to the Iowa tuition grants program. The Iowa tuition grants program consists of three component programs: the traditional Iowa tuition grants component, which provides tuition grants to students who attend a nonprofit institution of higher education in this state; the Iowa tuition grants for-profit institutions component, which provides tuition grants to students who attend a for-profit institution of higher education in this state; and the vocational-technical tuition grants component, which provides tuition grants to students who attend a vocational-technical or career option program at a community college in this state. The bill strikes provisions related to the traditional Iowa tuition grants component. Any moneys appropriated to the college student aid commission for purposes of the Iowa tuition grants fund that remain unencumbered or unobligated as of the effective date of the bill are transferred to the general fund. The bill also strikes provisions related to the Iowa tuition grants for-profit institutions component. Any moneys appropriated to the college student aid commission for purposes of the Iowa tuition grants for-profit institutions fund that remain unencumbered or unobligated as of the effective date of the bill are transferred to the general fund. The bill makes conforming changes and takes effect upon enactment.

AI Summary

This bill modifies provisions related to the Iowa tuition grants program by eliminating the traditional Iowa tuition grants component and the Iowa tuition grants for-profit institutions component, meaning students will no longer receive tuition grants through these specific programs. Any money already allocated to these programs by the college student aid commission that has not been spent or committed by the time the bill becomes law will be transferred to the state's general fund. The bill also makes conforming changes to various sections of Iowa law to reflect these changes and takes effect immediately upon being enacted.
