AI Summary
This bill amends the State School Aid Act of 1979 to adjust appropriations for higher education for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and modifies the payment schedule for funds distributed to public universities. Specifically, it changes the fiscal year from 2026 to 2027 for appropriations and payment distributions, and adjusts the start date for monthly installments from October 16, 2025, to October 16, 2026, with July and August 2027 payments for most universities now aligning with their fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The bill also makes significant reductions to the overall appropriations, with the gross appropriation decreasing from over $2.3 billion to $100, and correspondingly reducing federal, other state restricted, and state general fund/general purpose revenues to nominal amounts, effectively reallocating or eliminating most of the previously itemized funding for specific universities, retirement system reimbursements, state and regional programs, and grants and financial aid.
