Bill > HB2773

This bill authorizes and updates a series of legislative rules related to higher education in West Virginia, primarily focusing on rules for the Higher Education Policy Commission and the Council for Community and Technical College Education. The bill covers a wide range of educational programs and policies, including scholarship programs (such as the PROMISE Scholarship, Underwood-Smith Teaching Scholars Program, and Nursing Scholarship Program), accountability systems, degree-granting institution authorizations, tuition and fee policies, capital project management, and guidelines for employing and evaluating college presidents. It formally approves numerous existing legislative rules that were previously filed in the State Register, with some rules being authorized as-is and others being authorized with specific amendments. The bill also repeals a few outdated rules, such as those related to Advanced Placement credit and human resources administration. These updates aim to ensure that West Virginia's higher education policies are current, effective, and aligned with the state's educational goals, covering everything from student financial aid to institutional governance and performance evaluation.
