Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that no school district may pass on the cost of the fee to enroll in a Course Equity Program course to a student if he or she is eligible for (i) Medicaid, (ii) the Children's Health Insurance Program under the Children's Health Insurance Program Act, (iii) the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, or (iv) the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (rather than if the student qualifies to receive free or reduced-price lunch under the federal Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act). Provides that a school district must recognize on an eligible funded student's transcript (rather than student's transcript) each Course Equity Program course completed by the student (rather than each completed course granted approval to be taken by the student). Removes a provision allowing a public community college to serve as a Course Equity Provider; makes a conforming change. Removes a provision requiring a school district to notify students and parents of the availability of Course Equity Program courses. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
