House concurs with senate amendment to boost student financial-aid information
Summary
Lawmakers concurred with a Senate amendment to House File 703, which sponsors said makes only a code change to increase awareness of student financial-aid programs; proponents urged support and the bill passed the house.
A representative from Washington told the chamber that House File 703 "provides for increased student financial aid awareness" and that the senate returned the bill with an amendment making a code change. Representative Jacoby asked whether the change only moves the code section; the sponsor confirmed it did.
After brief questioning and floor remarks, the house concurred with Senate amendment H8197 and placed House File 703 on final passage. Sponsors framed the bill as a straightforward technical change to improve information about state and federal student loan programs.
The bill was read for final passage and declared passed by a large margin.
