Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

110 ILCS 205/3

from Ch. 144, par. 183

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Board of Higher Education Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning terms.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1

	Deletes reference to:
	110 ILCS 205/3

	Adds reference to:
	New Act

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Career and Workforce Transition Act. Requires a public community college district to accept up to 30 credit hours transferred from a non-degree granting institution (regulated and approved by the Board of Higher Education under the Private Business and Vocational Schools Act of 2012 and nationally accredited by an accreditor approved by the U.S. Department of Education) that has been approved by the Board as an institution from which credits may be transferred if a student has completed a medical assisting program, a medical coding program, a dental assisting program, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning program, a welding program, or a pharmacy technician program. Provides that the program must, at a minimum, be a 9-month program and use a credit-hour system. Contains provisions conditioning Board approval.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Requires an institution to have successfully completed a full term of national accreditation without probation (instead of without probation, a warning, or the denial of a substantive change in an application) in order to be approved as an institution from which credits may be transferred. Makes a grammatical change.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill as engrossed, with the following changes. Provides that "Board" means the Illinois Community College Board instead of the Board of Higher Education. With respect to Board approval, (i) requires an institution to submit all application materials that the Board requests, (ii) removes the requirement that the institution pay a fee to the Board, and (iii) removes the requirement that the institution complete all of the necessary requirements to be approved by the Board of Higher Education under the Private Business and Vocational Schools Act of 2012 (but defines "institution" in part as a non-degree granting institution that is regulated and approved by the Board of Higher Education under the Private Business and Vocational Schools Act of 2012).
