The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.09, subdivision 9, to enhance postsecondary enrollment options for secondary students. It maintains the requirement for postsecondary institutions to prioritize their own students when enrolling pupils in grades 10, 11, and 12, while also allowing institutions to provide information and recruit secondary students based on educational, programmatic, or financial grounds under specific conditions. The bill clarifies that institutions cannot enroll secondary pupils in non-college level courses, except for those in a middle or early college program designed for dual credit.

A significant addition to the law is the insertion of a provision that mandates postsecondary institutions to allow secondary pupils to enroll in summer courses, aligning with the institution's existing policies on summer enrollment. This change aims to expand opportunities for secondary students to engage in postsecondary education during the summer months, thereby facilitating their academic advancement and readiness for college.
