Plain-language change summary

The amendments to SB 1251 change the deadline for the Assessment Testing Select Committee to issue its report. Originally, the committee was required to report by September 10, 2020, but the new version allows them to submit their findings within two weeks after the effective date of the section. This change is significant because it provides the committee with more flexibility and time to prepare their recommendations, potentially leading to a more thorough assessment of the issues related to educational testing.
