The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Echols urges the Board of Regents to conduct a comprehensive study on the articulation and transfer process for career and technical education courses in Louisiana. This initiative stems from ongoing concerns regarding the limitations on transferring credits from community colleges to four-year institutions, which could hinder students' educational and career advancement. The resolution emphasizes the importance of maximizing the transfer process to enhance student success and strengthen the state's workforce.

The Board of Regents is requested to submit a report detailing their findings and conclusions to both the House and Senate Committees on Education at least sixty days before the 2024 Regular Session. The report should address barriers to articulation and transfer, propose strategies for expanding educational options for community and technical college graduates, explore the design of career and technical education programs to facilitate transfer, and include any legislative recommendations necessary to improve educational and workforce outcomes for Louisiana students.
