Change eligibility requirements for community college gap assistance

Summary

The bill revises Nebraska’s community college gap assistance program, requiring applicants to show they can be accepted into and finish a program, earn full‑time work, and keep that employment. It allows the committee to award assistance up to the full cost of eligible expenses but mandates denial if other public or private sources already cover those costs, while ignoring any SNAP employment‑training benefits in the eligibility decision. The changes take effect immediately as an emergency measure.
