Bill > HF4252

This bill modifies student aid reporting requirements, expands accommodations for parenting students, and adjusts eligibility for the American Indian Scholars program. Specifically, it requires more detailed reporting on various student aid programs, including demographic data, retention and completion rates, and debt levels, disaggregated by program, institution, and student characteristics like race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The bill also enhances protections and accommodations for parenting students in postsecondary institutions, ensuring they receive reasonable modifications for pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare needs, similar to those provided for temporary medical conditions, and guarantees their ability to return to their programs after a leave of absence. Furthermore, it clarifies eligibility for the American Indian Scholars program to include students who are enrolled members or citizens of federally recognized American Indian Tribes or Canadian First Nations, or members of Minnesota Tribal Nations, regardless of their residency status for tuition purposes. The bill also repeals a section related to concurrent enrollment program evaluations.
