Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill SB 1236 has added clarity regarding what qualifies as an "Account," specifically referring to individual trust accounts that can be established under certain regulations. It now explicitly mentions that funds can be used for expenses related to apprenticeship programs recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Labor, which is important for supporting vocational training. These changes matter as they broaden the scope of what educational expenses are covered, ensuring more individuals can benefit from the program.
