State grant provisions modified, and maximum tuition and fees set for students.

HF 479 modifies Minnesota's higher education grant program by establishing a tuition and fee maximum for eligible students. It sets this maximum at the highest tuition and fees charged by public Minnesota universities for each school year, applying specifically to students enrolled at an eligible institution during the 2025-2026 academic year or earlier. This policy change, effective for the 2026-2027 school year through fiscal year 2032, ensures state grant funds cover tuition up to this established maximum. The bill directly affects students receiving state grants at public Minnesota universities who were enrolled before 2026.
