The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes related to community college districts (CCDs) by requiring additional information to be included in their annual reports. Specifically, it would mandate that each CCD offering baccalaureate degree programs report the projected enrollment for each program and disaggregate the total number of students pursuing and completing baccalaureate degrees by program. This change aims to enhance transparency and provide more detailed data regarding baccalaureate degree offerings at community colleges.

Additionally, the bill would update the article heading of title 15, chapter 12, article 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes from "STATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES" to "ANNUAL REPORT." It would also remove outdated legal language that previously numbered the items in the report, streamlining the requirements for reporting while ensuring that the necessary data is clearly outlined. Overall, these updates are intended to improve the reporting process and the quality of information available regarding community college baccalaureate programs.
