DIRECTION TO CODE EDITOR. The Code editor is 5 28 directed to correct internal references in section 261.9 of 5 29 the Code as necessary in conjunction with the enactment of 5 30 this Act. 5 31 EXPLANATION 5 32 This bill authorizes the director of the department of 5 33 education to appoint a designee to serve on the college 5 34 student aid commission, strikes language referring to defunct 5 35 federal law and a discontinued federal report, changes the 6 1 point in time when interest will begin to accrue on loans made 6 2 under the osteopathic physician recruitment program, and 6 3 pushes the date on which the commission is required to submit 6 4 a report on enrollment and employment information from 6 5 December 15 to March 1. 6 6 Congress in 1972 repealed the Higher Education Facilities 6 7 Act of 1963 and provided that the programs authorized by Title 6 8 VII of the Higher Education Act of 1965 are a continuation of 6 9 the comparable programs authorized by the Higher Education 6 10 Facilities Act of 1963. References to the Higher Education 6 11 Facilities Act of 1963 are therefore struck in the bill. 6 12 Language referring to the annual federal EEO-6 report is 6 13 likewise struck as it is no longer required by the federal 6 14 government, though other federal reports are required. 6 15 The bill also makes clear that an "accredited private 6 16 institution", as defined in the Code, is an institution of 6 17 higher learning that meets at least one of the three specific 6 18 criteria in the Code relating to accreditation and 6 19 certification, and all of the criteria relating to equal 6 20 opportunity and affirmative action efforts, a controlled 6 21 substances policy, a sexual abuse policy, and the filing of 6 22 the federal Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act 6 23 report with the division of criminal and juvenile justice 6 24 planning of the department of human rights. 6 25 The bill also provides that interest will begin to accrue 6 26 on a loan issued to a student under the osteopathic physician 6 27 recruitment program on the day after the student graduates. 6 28 Currently, the Code provides that the interest will not accrue 6 29 until after the student completes a residency program. 6 30 The bill also renames the osteopathic forgivable loan 6 31 revolving fund as the osteopathic physician recruitment 6 32 revolving fund, and directs the treasurer of state to transfer 6 33 the funds from the old fund to the new fund on the date the 6 34 Act takes effect. 6 35 The bill also strikes from the Code the authorization for 7 1 the adjutant general to determine the amount of funding an 7 2 eligible national guard member receives under the national 7 3 guard educational assistance program and instead permits the 7 4 college student aid commission to prorate the amount of 7 5 assistance based on the amount appropriated. 7 6 Finally, the Code currently requires the institutions of 7 7 higher education that enroll recipients of Iowa tuition grants 7 8 to transmit to the commission information about the numbers of 7 9 minority students enrolled, minority faculty members employed, 7 10 and existing or proposed plans for the recruitment and 7 11 retention of minority students and faculty, along with plans 7 12 to serve nontraditional students. The commission is required 7 13 to compile and report the information and plans to the 7 14 chairpersons and ranking members of the house and senate 7 15 education committees, members of the joint education 7 16 appropriations subcommittee, the governor, and the legislative 7 17 fiscal bureau by December 15 of each year. This bill pushes 7 18 that reporting date to March 1. 7 19 LSB 6732HV 78 7 20 kh/cf/24.1
