Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Bill 136 now includes a requirement for the State Department of Education to conduct a study on public education in the state. This change is significant because it ensures that the department will assess current educational practices and conditions, which could inform future policy decisions. Importantly, the bill is confirmed to have no financial impact on the state or municipalities, meaning it can be carried out using existing resources without requiring additional funding.
