The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6330, aims to dissolve the Connecticut State Community College and reinstate the twelve regional community-technical colleges as independent public institutions of higher education. This legislative change is intended to restore the previous structure of community colleges in Connecticut, allowing for more localized governance and potentially tailored educational offerings to meet the needs of different regions.
The bill specifically includes the insertion of language that mandates the Board of Regents for Higher Education to take action to dissolve the current state community college system. There are no deletions of existing legal language noted in the bill text, indicating a straightforward reinstatement of the previous college structure without any additional modifications to existing laws.
