The bill H.246 aims to enhance support for students experiencing homelessness and those exiting the foster care system in Vermont's postsecondary educational institutions. It mandates that each postsecondary school designate a Student Liaison Officer responsible for understanding relevant financial aid laws and assisting these students in accessing available resources. Additionally, the bill requires schools to adopt policies that prioritize class enrollment and housing access for these students, ensuring they can overcome barriers such as work obligations and transportation issues.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that schools must implement policies allowing for waivers of registration and laboratory fees for students in these circumstances. The provisions outlined in the bill are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
