Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 6053 now specifies that only federally designated minority-serving institutions, rather than a broader category of "other institutions," can enter into data-sharing agreements with the office of the superintendent of public instruction. This change focuses the bill on supporting minority-serving colleges and enhances their access to high school student information, which helps inform students about college opportunities. The amendment maintains the requirement for institutions to protect student identity information, ensuring that student data is handled responsibly.
