Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act. Requires each higher education institution to biennially (rather than annually) conduct a sexual misconduct climate survey of all students at the institution. Adds the Executive Director of the Illinois Community College Board, members appointed by the Board of Higher Education, and members appointed by the Illinois Community College Board to the Task Force on Campus Sexual Misconduct Climate Surveys. Removes some members of the Task Force who were appointed by the Governor. Requires the Task Force to meet to recommend updates and revisions to the base survey (rather than to review the results of the survey and to implement updates and improvements). Removes the civil fine imposed upon an institution that violates the provisions or fails to carry out the provisions. Makes other changes.

Prohibits the school district from entering into a contract with an out-of-state postsecondary institution on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act until the school district has demonstrated to the Illinois Community College Board that the school district has taken appropriate steps to consider the listing of in-state postsecondary institutions and provides a rationale as to why the course can be provided only by an out-of-state postsecondary institution. Creates the Dual Credit Committee. Provides that the academic credentials required to be a fully qualified instructor shall include either a master's degree in the discipline to be taught or a master's degree in any other discipline and a minimum of, but not more than, 18 graduate hours in the discipline to be taught. Sets forth notice requirements for disapproval of course requests, instructors, or course documentation or withdrawal of course or instructor approval and an appeal process. Requires, 5 years after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the Illinois Community College Board to conduct a study concerning the impact of the changes made by the amendatory Act. Provides that the study shall be submitted to the General Assembly and the Governor by October 1, 2030 and published on the Illinois Community College Board's website. Makes other changes.
