If enacted, this bill would update current statutes regarding community college districts (CCDs) that offer baccalaureate degree programs. Specifically, it would require these CCDs to include projected enrollment figures for each baccalaureate degree program in their annual reports. Additionally, the total number of students pursuing and completing baccalaureate degrees would need to be disaggregated by program, enhancing the granularity of data provided in these reports.

The bill also proposes a change to the article heading of title 15, chapter 12, article 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, shifting it from "STATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES" to "ANNUAL REPORT." Furthermore, it makes conforming changes to the numbering of items in the report requirements, ensuring clarity and consistency in the information that must be reported by CCDs. Overall, these updates aim to improve transparency and accountability in the reporting of baccalaureate degree programs offered by community colleges.
