This bill proposes to repeal the existing requirement for students to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form or obtain a waiver for it before graduating. The bill specifically targets the repeal of two sections of the Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA): RSA 193:26-a, which pertains to the graduation requirement regarding the FAFSA, and RSA 186:8, IX, which relates to the rules governing RSA 193:26-a.
The bill, if enacted, would take effect 60 days after its passage. This change would eliminate the mandate for students to engage with the federal student aid application process as a condition for graduation, thereby removing a step that students currently must take to complete their secondary education. The bill does not include any insertions into the current law but does include deletions of the specified RSA sections.
