Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB3476

Amends the School Code. Provides that a General Assembly scholarship may be used at a public community college, not just a State university. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective July 1, 2007.

Provides that the General Assembly scholarship must be used at a public community college located in the legislative district of the legislator making the scholarship nomination (rather than any public community college in this State). With respect to a scholarship nominee changing his or her residence to a location outside of the legislative district from which he or she was nominated, adds a reference to a non-community college residence (rather than just a nonuniversity residence).

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill as amended by House Amendment No. 1, with the following changes. Provides that in the case of a scholarship for a community college, the designated community college must be within the community college district where the nominee resides or the designated community college must have a reciprocal tuition agreement for in-district rates with the community college district where the nominee resides (instead of requiring the scholarship to be used at a community college located in the legislative district of the legislator making the scholarship nomination); makes related changes. Provides that if the nominee changes his or her residence to a location outside of the community college district where he or she was residing and the designated community college does not have a reciprocal tuition agreement for in-district rates with the community college district where the nominee now resides, then the nominating member may terminate the scholarship at the conclusion of the college year in which the nominee is then enrolled. Effective July 1, 2007.
