Massachusetts S2755 mandates the Department of Higher Education to study and report on implementing debt-free public college.

Massachusetts S2755 requires the Department of Higher Education to investigate and report on the feasibility of debt-free public college. The study will consider best practices from other jurisdictions, assess the costs, and identify student populations that would benefit most. The department must also evaluate the impact on basic needs like housing and food for low-income students. The report, due within a year of the act's enactment, will include a definition of eligible students, a cost analysis, and funding recommendations.
