Caption: Relating to certain duties of a public institution of higher education in relation to the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
Initially Referred to House Higher Education Committee, chaired by a Republican
HB 3326 requires public institutions of higher education to certify employment for adjunct and part-time faculty seeking loan forgiveness under the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program. It standardizes the employment verification process, ensuring that faculty members working at least 3.35 hours per credit hour taught are classified as full-time for PSLF purposes. The bill also mandates that institutions annually notify employees about their eligibility for the PSLF program.
