MI SB0232

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

The reduced minimum age requirement (21 instead of 25) expires after the state fiscal year ending September 30, 2032

Applies the same age reduction to the Reconnect Short-Term Training Program skills scholarships, which provide one-time grants up to $1,500 for qualified occupational training

Maintains existing eligibility requirements including Michigan residency for at least one year, high school diploma or equivalency, and not having previously earned an associate or baccalaureate degree

The bill is tie-barred with SB 0233 and will not take effect unless that companion bill is also enacted into law
