HB 2061 Summary

• Amends Section 15-393 of Arizona Revised Statutes to authorize Career Technical Education Districts (CTEDs) to enter into agreements with nonprofit organizations devoted to vocational training and public or private postsecondary institutions, in addition to existing authority to partner with community colleges.

• Requires any agreements between CTEDs and nonprofits or postsecondary institutions to be documented as intergovernmental agreements or written contracts specifying financial provisions, accountability measures, responsibilities, instruction quality, and other operational details.

• Expands the scope of entities that can be parties to CTED agreements by explicitly including nonprofits and postsecondary institutions alongside school districts, charter schools, and community college districts.

• Makes technical corrections to existing CTED statutory language, including grammatical changes and updates to numerical formatting (e.g., "five cents" to "$.05" per "$100" assessed valuation).
