Committee Meetings
 Much of the higher education-related discussion this week was related to the 10 percent rule and tuition increases. However, several bills were heard that are of interest to DCCCD, including:
SB 1064, which addresses community college purchasing provisions, was approved by the Senate Education Committee and now moves to the full Senate. Purchasing director Philip Todd and DCCCD staff were at the committee meeting to support the bill. [Read about the bill]
HB 956 is one of the bills that seeks to reduce the cost of textbooks. DCCCD testified about this bill last month, and its author has worked with DCCCD staff to improve it. The result was a new amendment to the bill that was presented this week to the House Higher Education Committee; it is pending in committee for more changes. [Read about the bill]
