AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Kentucky's postsecondary education laws, primarily by removing outdated definitions and references, and by codifying the existing Commonwealth Education Continuum. Key provisions include the removal of definitions for "committee," "P-16 council," and "remedial education" from state law, and conforming other sections to these changes. It also formally establishes the Commonwealth Education Continuum, outlining its governance, membership, and duties, with administrative support provided by the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), and requires the continuum to submit an annual report. Additionally, the bill adjusts requirements for board of regents meetings, removing the stipulation that they must be held within 30 days of an appointment, and repeals several sections of Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) related to previous educational initiatives and councils. The Board of Student Body Presidents will now be attached to the CPE for administrative and organizational purposes.
