This bill updates Florida’s education system by requiring organizations that serve the blind to provide clear disclosures and meet certain standards. It also sets new rules for vocational rehabilitation providers regarding applications, evaluations, and rates. It changes how public universities and colleges measure graduation rates, award performance-based funding, and determine grades and dual enrollment eligibility. Nonresident, noncitizen enrollment is capped at 10% (no more than 5% from any country), and state financial aid is limited to U.S. citizens or lawfully present residents, excluding most international students. Special provisions for homeless student eligibility are also included.
