MI HB5993

Adds trade schools as eligible postsecondary institutions under the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act, allowing high school students to enroll in trade school programs with tuition and fees covered.

Defines "trade school" as organized systematic instruction programs preparing individuals for useful employment in recognized occupations, including high school students, recent high school graduates, and individuals seeking employment advancement.

Expands the definition of "eligible course" to include certificate programs in addition to degree programs at postsecondary institutions.

Updates gender-specific language throughout the statute by replacing "he or she" with "the student" for consistency and clarity.

Specifies the effective date of prior amendments as July 8, 2020 rather than referencing "the effective date of the amendatory act."
