Establishes a pilot program for tuition and fee waivers for seniors in Massachusetts higher education institutions.

The bill establishes a pilot program for tuition and fee waivers for seniors in Massachusetts higher education institutions. It allows seniors aged 60 and older to enroll in up to four courses per academic year at state universities, community colleges, and University of Massachusetts campuses. The enrollment is subject to space availability. By August 1, 2026, these institutions must report tuition and fee revenues to the state Comptroller and relevant committees. The Comptroller will then transfer funds from the General Fund to cover the foregone tuition and fee revenues.
