Committee clears technical revisions to higher-education statutes
Summary
SB 150, described as primarily punctuation and technical corrections to higher-education statutes and a small change to subsume the Charter Oak scholarship into the Roberta Willis program, was sent JFS to the floor without substantive debate.
Committee members voted to send SB 150 (LCO 1973), a bill containing technical and punctuation revisions to higher-education statutes, to the House floor with JFS language. The chair said the bill is largely technical but noted one substantive change: language relating to the Charter Oak scholarship was clarified to reflect it as part of the Roberta Willis program.
There was no substantive debate on the bill. The clerk called the roll for the JFS to the floor; members recorded yes votes on the record and the committee recessed with votes held open until 05:30.
Because the bill corrects statutory wording and consolidates scholarship language, sponsors described it as procedural and noncontroversial; it will advance to the floor for final consideration.
