Senate passes bill clarifying concurrent‑enrollment payment rules
Summary
Senate File 22‑99, clarifying that students who drop or withdraw from concurrent‑enrollment courses may be subject to repayment at the discretion of their school, passed the Senate after the body adopted a House amendment adding explicit withdrawal language.
The Senate adopted a House amendment and passed Senate File 22‑99, a bill addressing concurrent‑enrollment billing between schools and community colleges. Senator Green said the amendment makes clear that if a student drops or withdraws from a concurrent‑enrollment course, the student may be subject to payment for the course at the school’s discretion.
Floor debate was limited during the Senate’s final opportunity to speak; the amendment was moved and the bill read for final passage. The roll call recorded 33 ayes and 12 nays, and the bill will be messaged to the House.
Supporters said the change provides clarity to schools and colleges on reimbursable instances; the floor remarks emphasized local control for determining payments when a student withdraws.
