Governor's Bill No. 1250 seeks to implement the Governor's budget recommendations for higher education in Connecticut, effective July 1, 2025. The bill repeals Section 10a-9b and introduces new provisions that require each constituent unit of the state higher education system to collaborate with state departments to utilize the CORE-CT system for accounting and financial reporting. It also mandates the submission of quarterly budget and expenditure data to the Comptroller to enhance fiscal transparency. Additionally, the bill establishes the "Preschool through Twenty and Workforce Information Network" (P20 WIN), which will serve as an integrated data system for educational and workforce policy development, overseen by an executive board and administered by the Office of Policy and Management.

Furthermore, the bill transitions from the "CP20 WIN" framework to the "P20 WIN" framework, focusing on securing resources for its funding and improving data management across agencies. It establishes a data governing board to ensure data confidentiality and mandates regional workforce development boards to submit performance data to P20 WIN. The bill also revises policies for the Board of Trustees of The University of Connecticut and the Board of Regents for Higher Education regarding accounts receivable holds for students in correctional facilities, facilitating their enrollment in postsecondary education. Overall, the bill emphasizes enhanced interagency collaboration, data sharing, and access to education, while removing the term "Connecticut" from the title of the network and introducing new sections to existing law.
