Plain-language change summary

In the updated version of Senate Bill 43, a specific reference to “an institution of higher education” has been clarified and now includes details about nonpublic institutions. This change ensures that the bill applies equally to both public and nonpublic higher education institutions in North Carolina. This matters because it broadens the scope of the legislation, making sure that all types of higher education institutions are considered under the bill's provisions, which could affect many students and educational programs.
