AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Restore Our Bright Futures Act," makes several changes to the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program. It removes the condition that a student can only use the scholarship for summer term enrollment if funds are available, and instead requires the Legislature to appropriate additional funds necessary for summer term enrollment. The bill also modifies the SAT and ACT test score requirements for the Florida Academic Scholars and Florida Medallion Scholars awards, lowering the scores over a 3-year period.
