HB2904 establishes the Arizona Community College Promise Program Fund, administered by the Arizona Board of Regents, to provide financial aid to community college students.
The Arizona State Senate passed HB2904 on June 15, 2024 by a vote of 18 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because taxpayers should not bear the burden of paying for peoples’ college education. Bills like this—which establish a new government program—inflate the budget, interfere with the free market, expand government overreach, and undermine personal responsibility by unjustly shifting the financial burden to taxpayers.
