Bill > S0874

This bill modifies Florida's dual enrollment program, which allows eligible secondary students to take postsecondary courses for both high school and college credit, by exempting these students from certain fees, including technology fees, and clarifying responsibilities for instructional materials and transportation. Specifically, home education students and students from private schools participating in dual enrollment will be responsible for their own instructional materials and transportation unless their articulation agreement, a formal agreement between the school and the postsecondary institution, states otherwise, though such materials may be provided free of charge if the agreement allows. The bill also updates language to reflect current practices and ensures that dual enrollment students are exempt from registration, tuition, technology, and laboratory fees when enrolling in public postsecondary institutions, while clarifying that this exemption does not apply to students enrolling in eligible independent colleges or universities.
