Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of Bill HB 1663, several lines have been removed while new lines have been added to clarify the establishment of the I-Connect Computer Technology Program. The bill now explicitly outlines the requirements for providing portable computers and learning software to 6th grade students and select teachers, and it establishes the I-Connect Computer Technology Board to oversee the program.
