| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 61.0593, Education Code, is amended by | ||
| adding Subsection (f-1) to read as follows: | ||
| (f-1) In making its recommendations under Subsection (f) | ||
| relating to institutional appropriations of incentive funds for | ||
| public junior colleges based on achievement on student success | ||
| measures, the board shall incorporate the consideration of student | ||
| success measures, and include appropriate funding recommendations | ||

| workforce education courses offered by those colleges for which | ||
| credit toward a certificate or associate's degree is not awarded. | ||
| For purposes of this subsection, a continuing workforce education | ||
| course is considered qualified if the course is consistent with the | ||
| role and mission of a public junior college and is designed to | ||
| prepare students with skills necessary to attain external workforce | ||
| credentials, including a certification or license, or employment in | ||
| a specific high-demand occupation, regardless of whether the course | ||

| number of contact hours. | ||
