Summary
The bill amends state education law so that students who are homeless, or who qualify as orphans, foster children, or wards of the court, can receive tuition assistance. It requires a uniform method to verify homelessness and lets the education department adjust awards when families face unusual circumstances. The changes become effective on July 1 after the law is passed.
