MINOR
The bill was amended after being reviewed by the Committee on Higher Education, which discharged the bill and allowed it to be amended. The main substantive change clarifies eligibility criteria for student financial aid by removing the word 'were' and adding 'federal' before 'Pell grant', making the eligibility requirement clearer and more precise. The bill also removed unnecessary bracketed text from the original draft.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains the same, but the eligibility criteria for student financial aid were clarified to ensure only students who are eligible for a federal Pell grant qualify for the allocated funds.
ELIGIBILITY
Changed eligibility language from 'who [are] were at any time while attending Purchase college eligible to receive a Pell grant' to 'who are eligible to receive a federal Pell grant', removing redundant phrasing and adding 'federal' for clarity.
TECHNICAL
Removed bracketed text '[are] were' which was placeholder text from the original draft, and updated the bill number from S7486 to S7486--A to reflect committee amendments.
