Bill Summary



The act modifies the requirement for the 2021-22 fiscal year that the annual appropriations for higher education student financial assistance increase by at least the same percentage as the aggregate percentage increase of all general fund appropriations to institutions of higher education. The act clarifies that this standard increase will not apply to appropriations for the 2021-22 fiscal year for increases in funding for the institutions of higher education that restore aggregate general fund appropriations to a level at or below the level of such appropriations for the 2019-20 fiscal year. Furthermore, for the 2021-22 fiscal year, the standard formula will be calculated based on 2020-21 fiscal year financial aid appropriations during the 2020 legislative session and does not include supplemental appropriations for financial aid during the 2021 legislative session.

(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
