Title of bill
An act relating to reporting on the tuition assistance program; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
Requires a report by the higher educa- tion service corporation.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. Report on the tuition assist- ance program. The president of the higher education services corporation shall be submitted by February 15 of each year to the governor, the temporary president of the senate, the minority leader of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of the assembly, the chair of senate finance committee, the chair of the assembly ways and means committee and the chairs of higher education committees in both- houses.
Justification
The passing of this bill will allow for the legislature and the governor to have access to the TAP information. It will allow for an analysis of the program and give the state the ability to see how the recipients of TAP are utilizing the funding they receive. Today it is most necessary to know how the funding for such a vital program as TAP is being used.
