AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 15A of the General Laws to remove the requirement for applicants to take a standardized college entrance aptitude test, such as the SAT or ACT, to gain admission to public institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Instead, the bill allows applicants to submit the results of a standardized test if they choose to do so, but makes it no longer mandatory for admission.
