Student financial aid: Golden State Scholarshare Trust Act.

Abstract

The Golden State Scholarshare Trust Act establishes the Golden State Scholarshare Trust, under the administration of the Scholarshare Investment Board. Under existing law, parents and others may invest tax-deferred funds with the trust for the purpose of providing financial resources to eventually meet the postsecondary education costs of beneficiaries. This bill would require the Scholarshare Investment Board to consider entering into an agreement with a card issuer, as defined, to require the granting, based on accumulated credit card use, of a reasonable award, or points leading to an award, that would be deposited into Scholarshare trust accounts, as specified. The bill would require the board to report its decision, and the rationale for that decision, at a regularly scheduled public meeting of the board on or before June 30, 2016. The bill would also require the board to report this decision, in writing, to the chairpersons of the education policy committees of the Senate and the Assembly.
