The bill establishes the Technical College Funding Task Force in Kansas, which will consist of various college presidents and appointed members from the legislature and the secretary of commerce. The task force is tasked with developing a pilot outcomes-based funding model for technical colleges that aligns state investment with measurable outcomes. This includes establishing metrics related to academic success, workforce outcomes, and community impact, and preparing a report with recommendations for the legislature by January 31, 2028.

The pilot funding model will recommend additional appropriations for technical colleges and create a distribution method based on the established outcome metrics. It aims to ensure equitable distribution of state funds across technical colleges while aligning funding with state goals in economic development and workforce expansion. The task force will be appointed by December 31, 2026, and will operate with a quorum of eight members, with support from various state departments as needed.
