| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | Sec. 1. 20-A MRSA §11616, sub-§2, as enacted by PL 1989, c. 559, §10, | is repealed. |
|
| | Sec. 2. 20-A MRSA §11616, sub-§2-A is enacted to read: |
|
| | 2-A.__Period of study.__An eligible full-time or part-time | student may receive a scholarship as long as the student is in | compliance with the satisfactory academic progress policies of | the institution that the student attends. |
|
| | This bill amends the laws governing incentive scholarships by | permitting a student to receive a scholarship if the student | meets the satisfactory academic progress policy of the | institution that the student attends rather than limiting the | award of a scholarship to a period of 8 semesters. This change | is consistent with recent changes in federal law. |
