Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill SB 723 have updated the responsibilities of the Secretary of Education in Virginia. Notably, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and The Science Museum of Virginia have been added to the list of agencies the Secretary oversees, while the Library of Virginia and the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation were removed. This change is important because it reflects a shift in focus toward strengthening support for specific cultural institutions, which can help enhance educational and cultural offerings in the state.
