AI Summary
This bill proposes several changes to Minnesota's higher education policies, including expanding eligibility for paid blood donation leave to employees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, and enhancing accommodations for parenting students by requiring priority registration and ensuring reasonable modifications for pregnancy-related needs. It also modifies eligibility for the American Indian Scholars program, revises provisions related to private career schools and out-of-state institutions, and adjusts the state's postsecondary attainment goal to a higher percentage by 2040, with new subgoals for early childhood and K-12 education. The bill also streamlines reporting requirements for student aid programs, clarifies definitions and processes for private career school licensing and oversight, and limits the governor's appointment power for University of Minnesota Board of Regents vacancies to candidates recommended by a joint legislative committee.
