Plain-English summary
Amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to permit alternative methods to testing for qualifying "ability-to-benefit" students for Federal student financial aid.
Restores certain options (involving receiving a general education diploma (GED) or certain counseling and remedial or developmental education, or involving a State determination process) for the qualification of ability-to-benefit students.
Continues the testing requirement for such students at proprietary institutions (as mandated by the Student Default Initiative Act of 1990).
Separates institutional eligibility requirements under student aid programs from compliance with ability-to-benefit provisions.
