In the One Hundred and Ninety-Second General Court
(2021-2022)

An Act relative to late fees for no interest student loans.
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a deferral of late fees for certain student loans, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the Massachusetts department of higher education and the office of student financial assistance shall not apply late fees to no-interest student loans issued pursuant to clause (cc) of section 9 of chapter 15A of the General Laws from March 10, 2020 to December 31st, 2021. Any late fee paid on a no-interest student loan issued pursuant to said clause (cc) of said section 9 of said chapter 15A for a payment due from March 10, 2020 to the effective date of this shall be refunded within 30 days of the effective date of this act.
