Bill > HB5354

This bill authorizes legislative rules for the Higher Education Policy Commission and the Council for Community and Technical College Education, which are state bodies overseeing higher education. Specifically, it allows for new rules regarding the Medical Student Loan Program, the Mental Health Loan Repayment Program, and the Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Nontraditional Degree (STAND) Program, while also repealing existing rules related to purchasing efficiencies and the research trust fund program for these institutions. The bill also makes a minor amendment to the Medical Student Loan Program rule to include language about United States citizenship or legal immigrant status for applicants.
