This bill proposes updates to the current statutes regarding community college districts (CCDs) that offer baccalaureate degree programs. Specifically, it mandates that each CCD must include the projected enrollment for each baccalaureate degree program in their annual report. Additionally, the total number of students pursuing a baccalaureate degree and the total number of completed baccalaureate degrees must now be reported disaggregated by baccalaureate degree program. These changes aim to enhance the transparency and specificity of the data reported by CCDs.

The bill also includes a change to the article heading of title 15, chapter 12, article 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, updating it from "STATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES" to "ANNUAL REPORT." Furthermore, it makes conforming changes to the numbering of the items in the report, ensuring that the new requirements are integrated smoothly into the existing framework. Overall, these updates are designed to provide more detailed insights into the performance and offerings of community colleges in Arizona.
