Summary
The bill amends the Public Community College Act so that a community college district’s board of trustees can establish a baccalaureate program and confer a bachelor’s degree when it proves it has the expertise, resources, and student demand. It requires an approved application, accreditation, a feasibility study, equity reporting, and annual reporting to the Illinois Community College Board. The change is intended to expand higher‑education access and address regional workforce needs.
