The Senate Education Committee has approved a bill and a resolution to be reported to the full Senate with the recommendation that they pass.
HB 2706 would authorize legislative rules related to higher education.
These rules would involve the West Virginia Higher Education Grant Program, the PROMISE scholarship, the Research Trust Fund Program and the Annual Reauthorization of Degree-Granting Institutions, among other rules.
Originating Resolution 1 would request a study on Return-to-Learn protocols for elementary, secondary and higher education students who have suffered a concussion.
Senator Kenny Mann, R-Monroe, Chair, took Originating Resolution 2 off the agenda to be considered in a future meeting.
