SPRINGFIELD—Many students and communities throughout the state could be receiving much needed aid soon after the State Senate approved Senate Bill 2046. Senator Cunningham had the following statement:

“These programs and services are vitally important to all communities in the state, and we must take steps to ensure they don’t end,” Cunningham said. “This is about ensuring the government keeps its promise to our students who should have received MAP grants. This is about keeping sexual assault prevention programs functioning. We cannot just let these vital services go defunct.”

SB 2046 is now headed to the governor’s desk.
