Title

Prepaid Affordable College Tuition (PACT) Program, limit on cost of tuition for certain PACT plan contract participants, repealed, Act 2010-725, 2010 Reg. Sess. am'd.; Secs. 16-33C-17, 16-33C-18 repealed

Summary

SB335 would repeal the tuition cost limit for certain PACT plan contract participants.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the bill removes the statutory cap on tuition costs for certain PACT plan contract participants. It repeals Sections 16-33C-17 and 16-33C-18 of the Alabama Code, which previously set the limit. As a result, there would no longer be a defined upper limit on tuition costs under those PACT contracts. The act would take effect on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• PACT plan contract participants (students and their families) whose tuition costs would no longer be subject to a state-imposed limit.
• PACT program administrators and participating colleges/universities that manage and bill tuition under the PACT program, due to the removal of the cost cap.

Key Provisions

• Repeals Sections 16-33C-17 and 16-33C-18 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which imposed the tuition cost limit for certain PACT plan participants.
• Provides that the act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and the Governor's approval.
