Raised Bill No. 1114 introduces a series of technical revisions to Connecticut's higher education statutes, set to take effect on July 1, 2025. Key amendments include the establishment of the Technical Education and Career System board's responsibility to assess the demand for trade program graduates, as well as the creation of the Council of Advisors on Strategies for the Knowledge Economy to foster university-industry partnerships. The bill also establishes the Early Childhood Cabinet and mandates local education boards to inform high school seniors and their parents about admission opportunities under the Connecticut Automatic Admissions Program. Additionally, it updates language related to the administration of grants under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, aiming to better align educational programs with workforce needs.

The bill further addresses pupil expulsion procedures and educational scholarship programs, ensuring that no pupil can be expelled without a formal hearing and that parents or guardians receive timely notice. It emphasizes the rights of pupils and their families, including access to legal representation. Changes to demonstration scholarships allow for broader use at compliant schools, while revisions to the governance of The University of Connecticut clarify the powers of the Board of Trustees. Notable language changes include replacing "parents" with "parent" in expulsion notifications and adding "or legal guardians" in scholarship contexts. The bill also redefines "good character" in professional licensing and modifies license renewal terms for marital and family therapist associates, aiming to enhance clarity and compliance within the educational and professional licensing frameworks.
