In plain language

The bill modifies how higher education funding is allocated in the state.

This bill changes the funding model for higher education, renaming 'performance funding' to 'results-informed funding' and altering the calculation process. It also prohibits allocating financial assistance to certain private institutions for the 2026-27 fiscal year.

What this means for you
  • Families: This may affect families with students attending private institutions, as they will not receive state financial assistance for one year.

Summary

The act changes the higher education funding provisions, effective for the 2027-28 state fiscal year.     Under current law, a state institution of higher education's governing board's annual fee-for-service contract includes funding calculated based on 3 components: Ongoing additional funding, performance funding, and temporary additional funding. The act:Changes the name of the funding from 'performance funding' to 'results-informed funding';Redefines terms and metrics that are used to determine results-informed funding; andReorders the components and eliminates current statutory language that requires sequential calculation of the components.     For the 2026-27 state fiscal year, the act prohibits the commission on higher education from allocating money to nonpublic institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, or proprietary institutions of higher education for it students under a financial assistance program or a work-study program.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 1345 include the addition of a new definition for "Co-located Degree Partnership," which outlines a program where students can pursue degrees across two institutions. This change specifically allows students to enroll in a degree program at another institution that their home school does not offer, while still primarily receiving services and support from their home institution. This matters because it enhances educational opportunities for students, making it easier for them to access programs that better fit their academic goals and needs.
