The act:Changes the name of the funding from 'performance funding' to 'results-informed funding';Redefines terms and metrics that are used to determine results-informed funding; andReorders the components and eliminates current statutory language that requires sequential calculation of the components.     For the 2026-27 state fiscal year, the act prohibits the commission on higher education from allocating money to nonpublic institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, or proprietary institutions of higher education for it students under a financial assistance program or a work-study program.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
