Description
<p class="bill_description"> The Prepaid Affordable College Tuition
program which was enacted in 1989 has provided an
opportunity for the purchase of PACT contracts to
provide for future college tuition payments to be
made. The program has provided these payments for
each year since inception. The PACT Board has
suspended new entrants into the program and has
expressed concerns about the ability to meet the
contractual obligations for those participants
still in the program. This bill will provide for a
source of funding to help offset the shortfall if
the assets of the program are insufficient to meet
the obligations by appropriating funds from the
Education Trust Fund as debt service from such fund
declines</p><p class="bill_entitled_an_act"> To provide for additional funds to be appropriated
from the Education Trust Fund to the Prepaid Affordable
College Tuition program beginning in the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2014 and continuing into the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2021 and to repeal Section 16-33c-9 Code of
Alabama 1975 as amended relating to the disposition of funds
upon the dissolution of the PACT Program.
