Requiring the state board of regents to adopt rules and regulations to prohibit state moneys from being allocated for certain low-earning outcome programs and prohibiting political subdivisions from allocating state moneys for certain low-earning outcome programs.

SB 343 prohibits state and local public funds from supporting postsecondary education programs with low graduate earnings, as defined by federal standards. The state board of regents must create rules blocking state funds (including student aid and operational budgets) for such programs and submit annual reports to the legislature on enforcement and fiscal impact. Local governments, school boards, and other political subdivisions are also barred from using public money for these programs. This bill directly affects Kansas public universities, community colleges, and local education entities receiving state or local funding.
