This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 124D.09, subdivision 9, to allow postsecondary institutions to permit secondary pupils to enroll in summer courses. The new legal language specifies that postsecondary institutions must allow secondary pupils to enroll in summer courses in accordance with their policies regarding postsecondary pupil enrollment in such courses. This addition aims to expand educational opportunities for high school students by enabling them to take advantage of summer courses offered by postsecondary institutions.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions regarding enrollment priorities and restrictions for secondary pupils in postsecondary courses. It emphasizes that institutions must prioritize their postsecondary students when enrolling high school pupils and outlines conditions under which secondary pupils may be enrolled in remedial or developmental courses. The bill also ensures that once a pupil is enrolled in a postsecondary course, they cannot be displaced by another student, and it mandates that institutions must also enroll qualified veterans in the same courses as secondary pupils when applicable.
