Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act. Requires the Illinois Student Assistance Commission to receive and consider applications for grant assistance from persons enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a medical assistant program at an institution of higher learning that will lead to certification to work as a medical assistant in the Roseland Community Medical District. Sets forth provisions concerning the selection of recipients, the amount of a grant, applications for grant assistance, administration, and rulemaking.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides for the award of medical assistant grants through the 2020-2021 academic year. Requires an applicant to be a resident of this State. Provides that the medical assistant program must be at a public community college (instead of any institution of higher learning) and must lead to certification to work as a medical assistant (instead of a medical assistant in the Roseland Community Medical District). Provides that no grant recipient may receive more than $5,000 in a single academic year. Allows up to 2% of the appropriation for the grant program to be used by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission for the costs of administering the grant program.
