6A-20.023: Jose Marti Scholarship Challenge Grant Fund
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the rule development is to review the governing statute, Section 1009.72, Florida Statutes, and the corresponding language of Rule 6A-20.023, F.A.C., for the elimination of the double budgeting reference and the elimination of the requirement to set aside funds in the State Student Financial Assistance Trust Fund for year-out funding of renewing students, both which are not in statute. In addition, there are technical statutory reference numbers and terms to be aligned to statute. The effect will be a rule which is consistent with governing law.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Administrative requirements that are not authorized in Florida Statutes, current priority rankings for distribution of scholarship funds, and language updates to align with Section 1009.72, Florida Statutes.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 1001.02(1), 1009.72(1) FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 1009.40, 1009.72 FS.
