• Directs State Board of Education to clarify mission statements of each Florida College System institution and respective roles;

• Requires Board of Governors , State Board of Education and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to adopt a unified state plan for STEM ;

• Requires an FCS institution’s notice-of-intent to propose a baccalaureate degree program to include independently determined workforce demand and unmet need data; and
