Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act. In provisions concerning repayment of a Minority Teachers of Illinois scholarship, an ITEACH Teacher Shortage scholarship, or a special education teacher scholarship, provides that that portion of a scholarship recipient's repayment that equals the amount in expenses that the Illinois Student Assistance Commission has reasonably incurred in attempting collection from that recipient shall be deposited into the Commission's Accounts Receivable Fund (now, total amount of repayment is deposited into the General Revenue Fund). Makes changes in who is eligible for special education teacher scholarships. Effective July 1, 2003.

 Fiscal Note (Illinois Student Assistance Commission)
 Implementing the changes proposed in SB 339, as introduced, will not incur any cost to the State. The number of tuition waivers will not change. ISAC will be able to collect more moneys owed to the State.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
625 ILCS 5/3-648
110 ILCS 947/65.65 rep.

Further amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act to repeal a Section concerning Illinois Future Teacher Corps Scholarships; makes a related change in the Illinois Vehicle Code. Renames the ITEACH Teacher Shortage Scholarship Program the Illinois Future Teacher Corps Program, and makes changes concerning who may receive a scholarship, the scholarship amount, separate appropriations being made for various components of the program, and where a recipient must agree to teach.
