House Bill 4361 amends the Education Code to authorize a public institution of higher education to agree with an employer, under certain circumstances, to provide an off‑campus lower‑division program or workforce education program at a site requested by the employer, whether or not the site is within the institution's uniform state service region or junior college district service area, as applicable. An institution may enter into such an agreement without the approval of a higher education regional council if the employer has solicited an agreement to offer the program with another qualifying institution of higher education that is located in the service region or service area of the employer's requested site but does not finalize such an offer within six weeks after the employer's initial written solicitation.
