2003 SESSION
HB 1868 Senior Citizens Higher Education Act; emergency.
Introduced by: John M. O'Bannon, III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Senior Citizens Higher Education Act; emergency. Removes from the definition of "senior citizen" the reference to the income restriction and restores seniors' right to audit courses and take noncredit courses without charge regardless of income. During the 2002 Session, the $15,000 income restriction was increased from $10,000 to $15,000; however, the income restriction was erroneously added to the definition. This provision includes an emergency clause and will be in force from the date of its passage.
