2022 Senate Bill 842 ↩

Senate Roll Call 463: Passed

To authorize a new college scholarship program with annual grants up to $5,500 for students from low income households attending four year universities, $4,000 grants for private-college students, $2,750 for community college students, and $2,000 for students in occupational training programs. A spending bill enacted earlier appropriated $250 million for such programs, and this bill would require this spending be continued and increased $50 million a year for another five years. The bill would also appropriate $12 million to hire a private vendor to provide literacy tutoring to public school students,.
