Establishes process for county colleges to offer baccalaureate degree nursing programs.

This bill establishes a process for New Jersey county colleges to apply for approval to offer four-year nursing degree programs. County colleges must submit detailed proposals to the New Jersey Presidents' Council, including program descriptions, facility details, cost analyses, curriculum plans, and enrollment projections. The Council reviews proposals within 45 days, recommends approval or denial to the Higher Education Secretary, and colleges must also secure accreditation from the New Jersey Board of Nursing. This directly affects county colleges seeking to expand nursing education and addresses a state-level need for more nursing graduates.
