This report identifies state initiatives, policies, and programs in the area of adult learning undertaken in 10 selected states during 1979 and 1980. The methodology used to compute the state data is described. Profiles are then provided for the surveyed states: Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, and Wisconsin. Each profile begins with a general description of the state's governance structure and survey respondents' perceptions regarding that structure and its influence on adult education in the state. The feedback on state activities, funding levels, problems/needs and impacts in each of the framework areas of access, efficiency, and quality is summarized. The funding information summarizes as much data as were provided from questionnaires and the analysis of legislation concerning the actual investments for the promotion or provision of adult learning. Each profile ends with a summary of major points. A 10-state review of legislation passed during the 1978-80 legislative sessions concludes the report. The 280 bills are discussed in six categories of legislative action: licensure and oversight of professions, education and training needs of special populations, finance and administration of state postsecondary education institutions, capital expenditures, governance bodies, and other.
