Illinois HB5135 amends adult education programs to enhance coordination with vocational training and digital literacy.
HB5135 modifies the Adult Education Act and the Public Community College Act to integrate education and vocational skills training for adult learners. It allows adult education classes to include digital literacy and removes the requirement for an individual education plan for each learner. Instead, learners must complete a foundational skills assessment. The bill also removes the cap on reimbursement rates for adult education programs and allows providers to charge up to $6 per credit hour or unit of instruction, not exceeding $30 per semester per student.
