Purpose


During the 2022 legislative session, Senate Bill (SB) 7044 modified section 1004.085, Florida Statutes (F.S.), to supplement current law requiring posting of textbooks and instructional materials. Additionally, SB 2524 created a requirement in s. 1006.73, F.S., regarding advertising courses that utilize open educational resources and have zero textbook costs. The purpose of this amendment is to align the rule with the new statutory requirements. Approval of the proposed amendment of this rule may require Florida College System (FCS) institutions to update current policies and procedures to bring greater transparency to textbooks and instructional materials costs.
