The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes related to community college districts (CCDs) in Arizona, specifically regarding their annual reporting requirements. It would change the article heading of title 15, chapter 12, article 2 from "STATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES" to "ANNUAL REPORT." Additionally, it would require CCDs that offer baccalaureate degree programs to include the projected enrollment for each program in their annual reports.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the total number of students pursuing a baccalaureate degree and the total number of completed baccalaureate degrees must be reported disaggregated by program. This replaces the previous requirement for a single total number without disaggregation. The bill also makes conforming changes to the numbering of the items in the report, ensuring clarity and consistency in the information provided. Overall, these updates aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the reporting of baccalaureate degree programs offered by community colleges.
