Policy & Legislation

This legislation, signed in June of 2022, establishes the Louisiana Postsecondary Inclusive Education Fund, which will finance the creation of comprehensive inclusive postsecondary education programs at all of Louisiana’s public postsecondary education institutions. The programs must be federally approved, and provide postsecondary degree, certificate, and apprenticeship programs aimed at promoting independent living and employment opportunities. Institutions can use money from the Fund to create, coordinate, and expand their inclusive programs.
