Plain-language change summary

The amendments to House Bill 2987 clarify the legislative review process for subject matter standards in education proposed by the State Board of Education. Notably, the bill now emphasizes that these standards cannot be implemented until after they have undergone the full legislative review process. This change is important because it ensures that lawmakers have a chance to evaluate and approve the educational standards before they are officially adopted, which can lead to greater accountability and oversight in the educational system.
