Bill > HB219

This bill amends sections of the Ohio Revised Code regarding the College Credit Plus Program. The key provisions are: - It changes the deadline for students to notify their school of intent to participate in the program from the first day of April to a date established by the chancellor of higher education, in consultation with the superintendent of public instruction. - It establishes alternative remediation-free eligibility options for the program, and allows students who participated prior to September 30, 2021 to continue to qualify if they met previous requirements. - It requires public and private colleges participating in the program to use open source materials instead of purchase-only textbooks when possible, and to pay for textbooks when open source materials are not available. - It requires the chancellor of higher education and the superintendent of public instruction to monitor and enforce compliance with program requirements, and to review and audit the actual cost of the program. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for students to participate, ensure access to affordable course materials, and improve oversight and accountability for the College Credit Plus Program.
