Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
10 added · 11 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Bill SJR 28, a section has been streamlined by removing a reference to a prior amendment, which previously included an additional "As Amended by Senate Amendment No. 1" line. This change simplifies the language and focuses directly on the approval of the State Board of Education’s report regarding school code mandates. By making this adjustment, the bill becomes clearer and easier to understand, ensuring that everyone involved knows that all requests from the report have been approved. This matters because it helps to streamline governance and advance the process of approving educational changes efficiently.
