Education; tuition equalization grants; expand definition of an approved school to include certain institutions which offer programs in nursing

Replaced the committee's offer statement with a formal header identifying the document as a 'Committee Substitute' and listing the bill's sponsors.

The deadline for institutions to meet qualification requirements was extended from January 1, 2011, to January 1, 2021.

The definition of a qualified nonpublic institution was updated to require accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges as a Level VI institution and to specify that the school must have been located in the state since on or before the new deadline.

The criteria for receiving tuition equalization grant funds now explicitly include 'instructional campuses, facilities, or other physical sites' alongside other factors like faculty and financial resources.

The bill title and header were updated to include '(SUB)', designating it as a substitute bill introduced by the House Committee on Higher Education.

A new introductory paragraph was added stating that the House Committee on Higher Education is offering this substitute bill.

The original list of sponsoring representatives (Dempsey, Cooper, Taylor, Prince, and Hawkins) was removed from the header.
