Higher education policy and finance bill.

This bill provides funding and updates policies for Minnesota's higher education system, specifically targeting student support services, financial aid, and institutional contracts. It allocates money for competitive grants to research amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and expands support for on-campus food pantries to help students access meals. The legislation also adjusts the borrowing authority of the state's higher education facilities authority and establishes new reporting requirements for how grant funds are used. These changes directly affect universities, colleges, students, and the organizations administering these programs.
