What changed in the latest version
2 added · 2 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to SB 2508 shortens the deadline for repealing the financial scholarship program for education baccalaureate degrees from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2021. This change means that the scholarship program will end much sooner than originally planned. It matters because it affects students pursuing education degrees and may limit their financial support during an important time in their academic careers.
