A new State Legislative Update has been posted for your reference at collegezone.com. This Update, dated
July 17, 2008, contains the most recent status of bills which pertain to ISAC-administered programs and higher education in general.
Highlights of this Update include the fact that a motion filed in the House on July 15th, to restore an $18 million Monetary Award Program (MAP) increase previously vetoed by the Governor, failed along with other veto overrides that would have increased fiscal year (FY) 2009 appropriations. Consequently, MAP and all ISAC scholarship and grant programs are operating on FY2009 funding levels that are the same as those in FY2008.
Included in the Update is information regarding FY2009 appropriations for other higher education priorities, such as Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) programs, community colleges and public universities.
The Update also contains information about bills from this session which were not passed by both Houses and, as a result, will likely not be considered by the General Assembly prior to November.
The State Legislative Update can be accessed through College Zone's e-Library, #13, ISAC Announcements, Press Releases & State Legislative Updates. We will notify you when a new Update is posted.
