Creates a commission to evaluate the need for community colleges to participate in the educational opportunity program

Summary

The bill sets up a short‑term state commission to examine whether the twelve SUNY community colleges that currently do not take part in the Educational Opportunity Program should join it, and to consider changes to transfer eligibility rules. The 13‑member commission will hold hearings, conduct research, and must deliver a report with recommendations within one year. Its findings could lead to new legislation affecting low‑income students seeking to transfer to four‑year schools.
