The bill is organized by 52 11 divisions. 52 12 DIVISION I ==== FY 2017=2018. The bill appropriates to the 52 13 department for the blind for its administration. 52 14 The bill includes appropriations to the college student 52 15 aid commission for general administrative purposes, the loan 52 16 repayment program for health care professionals, the national 52 17 guard educational assistance program, the teacher shortage 52 18 loan forgiveness program, the all Iowa opportunity scholarship 52 19 program, the teach Iowa scholar program, the rural Iowa primary 52 20 care loan repayment program, and a health care=related loan 52 21 program. 52 22 The bill modifies statute to provide that students enrolled 52 23 in barber and cosmetology arts and sciences schools are 52 24 eligible for tuition grant moneys appropriated for students 52 25 attending for=profit accredited private institutions in Iowa 52 26 and modifies Code section 261.25 to change the standing limited 52 27 tuition grant appropriation amounts. 52 28 The bill prohibits the commission from approving new 52 29 loan forgiveness applications under the teacher shortage 52 30 loan forgiveness program. The bill also repeals the all 52 31 Iowa opportunity foster care grant program, but amends Code 52 32 section 261.87 to prioritize students who meet foster care 52 33 criteria under the all Iowa opportunity scholarship program. 52 34 The bill also repeals the barber and cosmetology arts and 52 35 sciences tuition grant program and the registered nurse and 53 1 nurse educator loan forgiveness program.

Currently, one of the members of 53 8 the commission is also a member of the board of regents or 53 9 the executive director of the board of regents.
