Regents One-Pagers Legislation Link Author Summary

Education-to-Workforce Informational Analysis HB 459 Freiberg Securely sharing data promotes transparency and
answers questions about program outcomes; resource
allocation; the value of different credentials; gaps
between the education and skills of individuals and
workforce needs; and equitable access to work-based
learning opportunities.
Truth in Borrowing HB 42 Davis In an effort to minimize student debt, this bill will provide clear consumer information designed to inform student borrowers of the impact of debt including estimated monthly payments and the accumulated debt if only minimum payments are made. The legislation also includes a required easy-to-read letter updating student borrowers annually of their payoff status.
Military Friendly Campus Enhancements SB 27 Foil This bill allows the addition of nationally accepted metrics to eligibility measures for Governor’s Military Friendly Campuses designations. It will also allow active-duty students to benefit from the same course articulation arrangements as veteran students; provide for automatic notice of services available to military students; and require institutions to make processes for the acceptance and transfer of military education, training, experience, or prior academic credit.
HBCU Advisory Council Updates HB 119 Hughes This bill will further enrich the work of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Advisory Council by adding HBCU students and Louisiana Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (LAICU) representation to the Council’s membership. It also includes a provision requiring an annual report to the Legislature.
