The committee voted to report House Bill 2190 to the full Senate with the recommendation that it do pass. The bill removes a pilot designation and makes Potomac State College permanently eligible to participate in the Learn and Earn program.
Counsel explained that under current law Potomac State’s Learn and Earn participation was a pilot beginning in the 2023–24 academic year and scheduled to conclude at the end of the 2025–26 academic year. “This bill removes the pilot program designation and makes, Potomac State's eligibility permanent,” counsel said.

The vice chair moved to report the bill to the full Senate with a recommendation that it pass and, under its existing double committee reference, first be referred to the Committee on Finance. The chair put the motion; the ayes were recorded and the motion was adopted.
The committee did not specify a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript; the motion was adopted by voice vote and the bill will be forwarded to the full Senate for further consideration.
