This bill eliminates a number of separate appropriations to the Technical College System (TCS) Board for grants to technical college districts for various purposes and, with one exception (the elimination of aid for driver training), provides for the funding of the programs through one consolidated appropriation. The bill provides that all such grants are discretionary, not mandatory, and also authorizes the board to award grants to district boards for activities that are related to improving district performance. The bill directs the board to submit an annual report to DOA describing how the moneys will be distributed to the district boards and the programs that the moneys will fund.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
