Senate Bill 1091 amends the Education Code to limit the courses that may be offered under a college credit program implemented by a public school district, and for which a public institution of higher education or a public junior college may grant course credit to an entering freshman on a dual or joint credit basis, as applicable, to the following: a course in the core curriculum of the applicable institution of higher education or junior college, a career and technical education course, or a foreign language course. The bill exempts from the limitation a dual credit course offered as part of an early college program that assists a student in earning a certificate or associate degree while in high school.
