This bill died with 2019-2020 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendments made to Assembly Bill 258 simplify the language and clarify the terms related to the scholarship program for Marquette University School of Dentistry students. Instead of having the Higher Educational Aids Board define their processes, the revised version now directly outlines scholarship details and the specific conditions for students, including their obligation to practice in designated dental health shortage areas after graduation. This change is significant because it makes the requirements clearer and simpler for students considering this scholarship, while also ensuring that those who benefit provide services in areas that need them the most.

Marquette University School of Dentistry rural scholarship program and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill requires the Higher Educational Aids Board, in consultation with the Department of Health Services, to establish a program for awarding annual scholarships of $75,000 to no more than five first-year students enrolled in the Marquette University School of Dentistry (school).
The scholarships are awarded for each year of enrollment in the school, but not exceeding four years.
To be eligible for a scholarship, a student must be a state resident and enter into an agreement with HEAB that he or she will practice dentistry upon graduation for a required number of months in an eligible area in this state, which is a federally designated dental health shortage area that is not located in Brown, Dane, Kenosha, Milwaukee, or Waukesha County.
The number of months required is 18 months for each annual scholarship awarded to the student.
In addition, the agreement must specify that if a student does not practice dentistry in an eligible area in this state for the required number of months, he or she is liable to the state for an amount that is based on the number of months he or she did not practice in an eligible area in this state.
Also, the bill requires HEAB, in cooperation with the school, to make every effort to ensure that students in the program practice dentistry upon graduation in eligible areas in this state that are geographically diverse.
Finally, the bill requires HEAB to make grants to the school to defray the school's administrative costs related to the program.
