A00786 Prohibits independent higher education institutions from collecting financial information from a student's or prospective student's non-custodial parent; requires that private colleges use student financial aid formulas that are arrived at independently, without coordination with outside standard setting organizations.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill prohibits independent higher education institutions from collecting financial information from a non-custodial parent for financial aid purposes and requires independent determination of aid formulas. This affects custody-support by expanding the rights of the non-custodial or paying parent through reduced financial obligations in aid calculations. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
