MI HB4377

Lowers the minimum age eligibility for Michigan Reconnect grants from 25 years old to 21 years old, contingent on sufficient funds being appropriated to expand the program

Applies the reduced age requirement to both the main Michigan Reconnect grant program (for associate degrees and industry-recognized certificates) and the Reconnect short-term training program skills scholarships

Sets a sunset provision limiting the reduced minimum-age criterion through the state fiscal year ending September 30, 2032

Skills scholarships under the short-term training program remain capped at a one-time grant of up to $1,500 for tuition costs at approved training institutions

Takes effect only if companion legislation (Senate Bill or House Bill 4378) is also enacted into law
