This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding career technical education by allowing career technical education boards to enter into agreements not only with community college districts but also with universities under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Board of Regents. This change is significant as it expands the scope of potential partnerships for providing educational services when equivalent courses or programs are unavailable through existing agreements.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for intergovernmental agreements by including universities as parties involved in these contracts. It also clarifies the responsibilities and contributions of each entity involved, ensuring that the financial aspects of these agreements are proportionally calculated. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision that allows universities to enter into agreements with career technical education districts to provide necessary services, thereby enhancing collaboration between these educational institutions.
