The education committee unanimously passed two largely technical bills removing obsolete reporting and program provisions tied to higher-education assistance.
Representative Isaacson explained House Bill 22 37 would repeal the statutory reporting obligation for the New Economy Technology Scholarship administered by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), noting the program has been closed for some time and continuing reporting obligations are unnecessary.
Chair O'Meara introduced House Bill 22 69 to repeal provisions for the medical education loan assistance program and related PHEAA duties; committee members said removing obsolete provisions will reduce administrative burden and allow attention to current priorities.
Both bills passed on unanimous voice and roll-call votes in committee. Members suggested a broader review of outdated education statutes to identify additional provisions that could be repealed.
