HB 1278 - DIGEST
(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 3/06/19)

Recognizes that homelessness is a barrier to accessing higher education and the legislature therefore intends to provide college bound scholarship homeless students with one year of on-campus housing, if space is available so other students are not being displaced and rooms are not being held open.

Requires institutions of higher education that offer on-campus student housing options to provide a waiver for one year of on-campus housing to eligible students on a space available basis.
