A05833 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A5833
 
SPONSOR: Hyndman
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to permitting tuition assistance program awards to be made to part-time students enrolled in certain degree granting institutions chartered or authorized by the New York state board of regents   PURPOSE: The purpose of the legislation is to allow otherwise eligible students who attend degree-granting proprietary colleges to receive part-time TAP awards.   JUSTIFICATION: The 2022 enacted state budget authorized Tuition Assistance program awards for eligible students attending part-time. However, part-time TAP was limited to students attending SUNY, CUNY or non-profit colleges or universities. Student who would normally receive TAP who choose to attend one of New York's proprietary degree granting college are not eligible to receive part-time TAP. New York recognized that attending college part-time may lead to better outcomes as student's have many considerations; family obligations, work commitments, etc. Providing for part-time TAP awards was a positive change to this longstanding financial aid programs. Students attending proprietary degree granting schools in NYS have long been included in TAP. This bill would continue that by allowing them to be included in part-time TAP as well.   BILL HISTORY: New Bill.   FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated at $150 million in 2022.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This bill shall take effect immediately.
