This bill establishes a new requirement for community and technical colleges in Washington regarding the percentage of courses taught by faculty without tenure track status. By July 1, 2026, each college must adopt a policy that limits the percentage of such courses to no more than 45% starting July 1, 2030. This aims to ensure a more stable and qualified faculty presence in these institutions.

Additionally, the bill mandates that by July 1, 2028, and annually thereafter, the college board must report to the legislature on the progress made towards this requirement. The report should include the current percentage of courses taught by non-tenure track faculty and any relevant data, ensuring transparency and accountability in the implementation of this policy. The term "tenure track status" is defined within the bill to clarify the faculty classification being addressed.
