In The Chair: Nesbitt The Senate agreed to the title of the bill. Senator Bayer asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal. The motion prevailed. Senator Bayer’s statement is as follows: The promise zones—this bill addresses the promise zones, and I’m sure you’re all familiar with that—are proven to carve a path to a different kind of success for kids. Some of these are in our poorest communities around the state. Even with free tuition and fees and books, some kids struggle to get through college, to get to the point where they have a degree, and really are launched on that new path because of different and difficult circumstances where they live. Some of these kids live in the most stressed and even dangerous environments, some of them live in apartments—maybe with eight, ten other people all crammed into a small space—some of them then also have to take care of their young siblings while they try to do homework, while they try to study. Some are actually homeless. The data show that living on campus improves graduation rates, so particularly for these kids, this bill doesn’t cost us any extra money, and all it does is allow the local promise zone authority to decide whether or not they want to use some of their money that they have—no more money from us—to include payments for on-campus housing to help those kids to actually graduate. That’s all it does. I really hope you will all vote with me “yes” on Senate Bill No. 99.
