House Bill No. 6443 mandates the Office of Higher Education (OHE) to conduct a study on postsecondary education opportunities within the state. The bill requires OHE to submit a report detailing the findings of this study to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026. The new legal language introduced in this bill includes the establishment of this study as a new section, specifically noted as Section 1 from passage New section. The bill is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as it is anticipated that the OHE possesses the necessary resources to carry out the study without additional funding. The bill received a favorable report from the Higher Education and Employment Advancement Committee, with a vote of 15 in favor and 2 against.
