HB 2021: Advanced college payment

Modifying provisions in the advanced college tuition payment program.

Summary

  • Permits any Washington resident to purchase tuition units under the Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) Program.
  • Protects the GET Program assets from bankruptcy proceedings.
  • Creates a single value for all payouts and refunds, based on the current value of tuition and fees at a public higher education institution rather than on a weighted average.
  • Excludes from coverage under the GET program any portion of student services and activities fees used to pay for bonds or debt on capital facilities projects.
