What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires the Technical College System Board (TCS Board) to promulgate rules establishing technical colleges’ priorities in admitting students who are residents of the technical college district, students who are state residents but not district residents, and students who are not state residents. The rules promulgated by the TCS Board also allow a technical college to adopt a policy to reserve a reasonable number of program spaces to accommodate admission of students in special circumstances, subject to approval by the TCS Board. Factors that may be considered for special circumstance admission include hardship, school-to-work program participation, special need, and enrollment diversity.
This bill allows a technical college to adopt a policy to reserve program spaces to accommodate admission of students in protective services programs, including programs that prepare students to provide law enforcement, paramedic, emergency medical technician, or firefighting services. The policy is not subject to the TCS Board’s approval. The bill also codifies, with some modification, the TCS Board’s rule allowing a technical college to reserve program spaces for students in special circumstances.
