Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill amends the Public Community College Act so a community college district’s board of trustees can start a baccalaureate program and confer a bachelor’s degree if it shows expertise, resources, and student demand. It requires a feasibility study, accreditation, an equity plan, and annual reporting, and limits the use of credit hours from these programs for certain state grants. The change is intended to expand workforce‑focused education while keeping state oversight.
