With more than 1.5 million veterans in the Sunshine State, Florida is looking to ease their entrance into higher education.

Shalala's bill would ensure accreditors “respond to complaints, monitor and assess an institution’s records of student complaints, and submit such complaints to the Secretary and state agency as appropriate” and makes them “review teach-out plans and agreements when they see signs of a potential school closure.”

The bill exempts lower income Americans from making payments towards their Income Share Agreements (ISAs) and cap the terms ISA providers can offer. The legislation also ensures ISA funders offer more transparency and information to students.
